Sweet Hours

1982, Movie, 1h 46min

Juan (Iñaki Aierra), a playwright obsessed by his torrid family history, attempts to work through the unresolved issues of his past by staging an autobiographical play entitled “Sweet Hours.” As scenes from the play’s rehearsals meld with his own childhood memories, he begins to understand anew his charged relationship with his complicated mother (Assumpta Serna) who committed suicide. In typical Carlos Saura fashion, the blurring of reality and fantasy is heightened as Juan simultaneously begins to fall in love with the actor (also Serna) playing his mother.
