The feature film ‘Formentera Lady’ tells the story of Samuel, a hippie from the 70s who arrived in Formentera and has remained there ever since. He lives without electricity in a house on the beach and plays the banjo in a dive bar. One day, he receives a visit from his daughter Anna and his grandson Marc. Unemployed for some time, she has accepted a job in France that requires her to leave alone. After initially rejecting her, the old hippie's daughter begs him to help her, even if it's just this once in his life. The fragile and eccentric hippie decides to take care of his grandson, a relationship that triggers a return to a past with some dark shadows. A twilight journey that will be both hopeful and initiatory.
The Malaga Film Festival presents the program for its 21st edition, from April 13 to 22, 2018.
