Fernando León de Aranoa, the Spanish director of Los lunes al sol (Mondays in the Sun), brings us another great narrative. Magaly Solier plays Marcela, a pregnant immigrant flower girl with financial troubles. She takes a job caring for a bedridden elderly man (Celso Bugallo). However, necessity and destiny lead her to make a drastic decision. Amador is a simple and elegant story with a touch of humor.
FUN FACT: Celso Bugallo plays another character named Amador in Fernando León de Aranoa’s Los lunes al sol. Both share a similar fate.
