CARPOOLERS
Special Features: U.S. Theatrical Premiere. Post-screening Q&A with filmmaker Martín Cuervo
[CON QUIÉN VIAJAS]
In writer-director Martín Cuervo's smart and spunky debut feature — a road trip comedy for the ridesharing age — four complete strangers connect via a popular carpooling app and agree to split a ride from Madrid to Cieza. What could possibly go wrong? With oddball Julián (Salva Reina, MARSHLAND) behind the wheel and fast-talking Ana (Ana Polvorosa, CABLE GIRLS), timid Elisa (Andrea Duro, PHYSICS OR CHEMISTRY) and pensive Miguel (Pol Monen, AMAR) along for the ride, what starts as a simple trip from A to B takes some unusual and hilarious turns, as personal revelations ensue and a mystery around Julián's identity unfolds. Artfully and economically shot — and equal parts thriller, buddy movie and laugh-out-loud comedy — CARPOOLERS takes the conceit of a single-location film on the road to uproarious new heights.
