Me Too (Yo también)
Exceedingly well-received in Spain,
Me Too is a delightful, offbeat comedy-drama and an unusual love story that challenges society's deeply ingrained prejudices.
Daniel begins a social services job in Seville where he meets free-spirited co-worker Nuria. They quickly become friends, but as Daniel's love for Nuria grows, so does his desire to be "normal". Although the rebellious Nuria scoffs at the notion of normalcy, she is forced to confront the fact that Daniel is indeed different.
Bright, understated cinematography and an upbeat soundtrack complement insightful, award-winning performances by Lola Dueñas (
Volver,
Broken Embraces,
The Sea Inside) and Pablo Pineda. Respectful of its characters and bold in its thinking, this film asks some serious questions and often gives some amusing answers. Produced by Julio Médem.
