Pontevedra, hora cero

A film director prepares to shoot a documentary about the urban miracle of Pontevedra but, in the midst of filming, he realizes that he knows little about the city and that, moreover, he is not very interested in the subject. He enters a creative crisis and realizes that he prefers to make a fiction. Although he is not clear about what, he calls his usual actresses and involves them in the project. They quickly notice that this is not going anywhere and rebel against the direction of the director. As a result of that rebellion, they end up filming something else which is, ultimately, Pontevedra Hora Cero

Directed by Alfonso Zarauza, Pontevedra, hora cero leans on a strong ensemble — Melania Cruz, Ledicia Sola, Marta Lado — 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 0.
