UNDER THERAPY
[BAJO TERAPIA]
A psychologist summons three married couples to an unknown location for an urgent group therapy session. She won't be there in person, but she's left a series of prompts for the couples to work through together. As they dive into hot-button topics like infidelity, money management, raising children and sex, the couples reveal long-held secrets and desires. A sharp relationship comedy with a dark side, the film features biting performances from Fele Martínez (BAD EDUCATION, TALK TO HER), Alexandra Jiménez (DISTANCES, STORIES NOT TO BE TOLD) and the recent Goya Award–winner Malena Alterio (SOMETHING IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN) as an overly deferential wife on the verge of a breakthrough. Directed by Gerardo Herrero (a producer on the Oscar-winning THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES and the Palm d'Or–winning THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY) from a script he adapted from a popular stage play. Special Jury Award, 2023 Málaga Film Festival; Official Selection, 2023 San Sebastian Film Festival. DIR/SCR/PROD Gerardo Herrero. Spain, 2023, color, 93 min. In Spanish with English subtitles.
