About The Forbidden Gardens
The film tells the story of an endless night with Alsa, a central character with insomnia and continuous delusions, while an impossible movie is shot behind her back. Mental illnesses, pills, the fear of the future and the present, suicide as an escape door to darkness, the mediocrity of the artist and the despair of Spain today and the obsessive search for endurance and infinity.
Directed by Pablo Vázquez, The Forbidden Gardens leans on a strong ensemble — Olga Alamán, Belén Riquelme, Carlos Palencia — 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 comedy titles of 2018.
