Bye Bye Boy

Following his parents' divorce, Enzo goes to the village to spend the weekend with his mother. The house has to be emptied and sold, as Chantal can no longer afford it. A weekend to reconnect with their past and pack up all the memories they want to keep. The time they share, after a long period without living together, will demonstrate its passing. The suffocation caused by a slavish nostalgia and a change of pattern in their mother-son relationship. Old age, sexuality and empty nest syndrome appear at a turning point in their lives that will mark the direction of the road they have to travel together.

Directed by Iñaki Mur, Bye Bye Boy leans on a strong ensemble — Sonia Almarcha, Álvaro Larrán, Marta Millà — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2023.
