Two men, both single and in their thirties, travel to Ibiza in the late 1950s, attracted by the legend of sex, European tourists and freedom. But when they arrive on the island, things don’t turn out as they had planned. Raúl Arévalo and Juan Diego Botto star in this nostalgic comedy that received three nominations at the 2020 Goya Awards.
Possibly the most famous sequence shot in Formentera sees a tousle-haired Paz Vega riding a bike in her red dress with the Cap de Barbaria lighthouse disappearing behind her. This cult film explores sexual freedom, desire, the sadness of falling out of love, absolute heartbreak and passion. Lucia travels to this quiet island in the Mediterranean (Formentera), where she remembers her relationship with Lorenzo, a writer she fell in love with while reading his works. You’ll travel to Formentera with a different outlook after watching this film.
This French comedy, starring Christian Clavier and Mathilde Seigner, chronicles the adventures of a ‘modern family’ in which Phillipe (Clavier) wants to win the affection of his girlfriend’s teenage children at all costs. He makes a deal with her son: if he passes his exams, he can choose the destination for their summer holiday. Of course, the son passes with flying colours and chooses Ibiza. Philippe is in for the surprise of his life… French humour in its purest form.
This cult film was censored in several countries at the time of its release, but like all films ahead of their time, it marked a before and after, especially among films that deal with drug addiction and sex, two subjects that film producers scrupulously avoided at the time. Focusing on the lifestyle of hippy communes in the 60s and 70s, the film is impeccably photographed and shows Ibiza in a very organic, almost dreamlike way.
