La estafa del amor

Romance Scam

Virginia García del Pino

Un impulso colectivo Spain 73 min Catalan premiere Documentary

Synopsis

A group of people is reading the script of a movie about a man who made women fall in love to scam them. As the reading of the script progresses, people begin to dig into their own stories. Everything is recorded rigorously live. The result is a kind of debate on the ideal of romantic love and the extraordinary (and not necessarily positive) influence it exerts on men and women.
