Hispanic Film Club Screening: Cinco Lobitos

The Hispanic Film Club at Manchester Central Library: exploring the vibrance of Hispanic Cinema.

The Manchester Central Library and the Instituto Cervantes of Manchester proudly present the Hispanic Film Club , beginning with a series that celebrates the richness of Hispanic cinema by showcasing stories of resilience, identity, and humanity. From Pedro Almodóvar’s acclaimed All About My Mother to the imaginative Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles , these films present profound narratives. Iciar Bollain’s Yuli offers a moving biopic of a Cuban ballet star, while Javier Fesser’s Campeones delights with its heartwarming humour. Aluda Ruiz de Azúa’s Lullaby examines family bonds with emotional depth, and Damian Szifron’s Wild Tales provides a darkly comedic exploration of human nature.
Join us for this cinematic journey through the voices and visions of contemporary Hispanic filmmakers!
Fifth screening: Cinco Lobitos [ Lullaby ] by Aluda Ruiz de Azúa
Synopsis :
Amaia (Laia Costa) has just become a mother. Her partner is away from home for months and she feels overwhelmed, incapable of looking after her baby and going back to her job as a translator. She decides to take refuge in her parents’ home with the hope that they will look after her and her baby in her childhood home, in a lovely coastal village in the Basque Country. But life has other plans, her mother falls ill and it’s Amaia who will have to look after all of them. She finds herself living the life her mother had thirty years before. She becomes a housewife, with an absent partner, caring for a baby and a sick grandmother. Family roles are reversed, changing their relationships forever.
