Some things remain the same in any language. Urban lesbian drama, for example, is truly universal.

Going through a breakup is hard enough without your ex handing you a self-help book on the way out the door, but for Zaida (co-writer/director Zaida Carmona), that’s just the beginning of her relationship troubles. A thirtysomething lesbian in Barcelona still acting like she’s in her 20s while dreaming of being a filmmaker, Zaida seeks safety in her community of friends, lovers, friends’ lovers, and ex-lovers who are now friends while embarking on an angsty and funny journey of late-night connections, mascara mustache exchanges, and doomed crushes on happily coupled women.

With a snappy yet deadpan sense of humor, Zaida is our tour guide through Spain’s vibrant lez and art scenes. Cruising through galleries adorned with paintings inspired by Portrait of a Lady on Fire and coffeeshop filled with discussions of Barbara Hammer — “films about naked dyke friends in the country, what’s not to like?” — the joys and tribulations of sapphic seduction come to life in hysterical, relatable fashion in this infectious comedy from the team behind Cut!
