The Other Way Around

The Other Way Around (Volveréis, 2024) is a Spanish tragicomedy you can watch online on iFILM. Ale directs films, Alex acts in them, and after fifteen years together they decide to split — though not quietly.

Ale's father once joked that breakups, not weddings, are the thing worth celebrating. So the couple takes him at his word and throws a party to mark their own separation. Friends and relatives have no idea how to react: some refuse to believe it, some are angry, some quietly measure the news against their own marriages. Ale and Alex, meanwhile, keep rehearsing the breakup over and over, like takes on a set. Director Jonás Trueba pulls off something rare — a featherlight movie about a heavy thing, about how hard it is to let go of someone you've grown into. A talky, tender drama for anyone who loves understated European arthouse. Stream The Other Way Around (2024) online on iFILM.
