Anything You Want

Anything You Want (Todo lo que tú quieras, 2010) is a Spanish drama directed by Achero Mañas — watch online on iFILM. Leo loses his wife Alicia to a sudden epileptic seizure, and their young daughter Dafne is too small to understand where mama went. She calls for her every night.

Leo's answer is not a conversation. He puts on a wig, a dress, red lipstick — and becomes mama. Juan Diego Botto plays it completely straight: Leo is desperate and tender and quietly coming apart, all at once. Mañas is less interested in the transgression than in what sustaining it costs — how long you can maintain a fiction before the fiction starts maintaining you instead. It's a quietly devastating film that resists being reduced to its premise. Stream Anything You Want online on iFILM.
