Synopsis
Barcelona Summer Night (2013) — a Spanish ensemble comedy-drama directed by Dani de la Orden that you can watch online on iFILM — unfolds across a single August night in the city.
A comet crosses the Barcelona sky and sets six separate stories in motion. Old friends at a dinner table finally say what they have kept to themselves for years. Two strangers collide and find there is no neutral way to end the evening. Gay athletes who have hidden their relationship land at the moment they can no longer postpone the decision. The film cuts between these threads with a cast of young Spanish actors including Jan Cornet, Miki Esparbé and Alba Ribas.
The format is an anthology — six vignettes tied to one city and one night. De la Orden treats Barcelona as a backdrop that amplifies rather than decorates, and keeps the tone warm without tipping into sentiment. A light film about the things people do when darkness gives them cover. Stream Barcelona Summer Night (2013) online on iFILM.
