Tough

In the middle of shooting a film, the lead actress meets with the director to discuss a problematic scene.

A family that lives in a population of just over ten thousand inhabitants and about thirty minutes from Barcelona, sees its everyday life shaken by the political events that take place in Catalonia during the months of September and October 2017. A story of maturation and care. A story of a family that learns to break up and separate without hurting each other and without causing trauma. A family that learns to understand the thoughts and attitudes of others as everything gets more and more tense outside their home. A family that does everything possible to talk and understand each other, because, deep down, they love and respect each other. A family that will find a way to forgive and heal the wounds produced throughout this process.

22 years encapsulated in a diary. David Vilaseca captured his day-to-day life on paper from 1987, when he was 23 years old and a young student on an American campus, until 2009, when he was 46 and shortly before he died. Now, Xavier Albertí directs the theatrical adaptation of this revealing novel that turns the self, fears, sex and other personal experiences into high-flying literature.
