LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS, THE
[LAS LEYES DE LA TERMODINÁMICA]
Mateo Gil (REALIVE) takes romantic chemistry to a whole new level with this audaciously imaginative spin on the rom-com formula, pitting a love-struck science savant against the mind-boggling cosmi-comic dictates of love and physics. Set in Barcelona, THE LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS tracks the tumultuous romance between Manel (Vito Sanz, MARIA [AND EVERYBODY ELSE]) and model-turned-actress Elena (Berta Vázquez, PALM TREES IN THE SNOW), and their friends Pablo (Chino Darín, THE QUEEN OF SPAIN) and Eva (Vicky Luengo, BORN). Gliding seamlessly back and forth through space and time, the film takes us on a whirlwind tour of seduction and ecstasy, heartbreak and regeneration, balancing scenes of romantic bedazzlement with witty commentaries from science experts on the gravitational pull exerted by the object of one's desire.
