A Sundance standout, Amalia Ulman’s debut feature El Planeta follows a mother and daughter (Ulman and her own mom, Ale) on the verge of eviction from their apartment in Gijón, Spain. 


Amidst the devastation of post-crisis Spain, mother and daughter bluff and grift to keep up the lifestyle they think they deserve, bonding over common tragedy and an impending eviction.

 

“A captivating throwback to the shaggy aesthetic of micro-budget ’90s New York indies that plays like Grey Gardens with a hint of early Almodóvar.” – Hollywood Reporter


“El Planeta is refreshingly original in its rethinking of the grifter film, adding humor but never sacrificing its humanity.” – AWFJ Women On Film
