Emergency Exit is the last film of the unforgettable Marisa Paredes and also marks the anticipated return to directing for Lluís Miñarro, a restless and always unpredictable creator. As a producer for seminal filmmakers such as Béla Tarr, José Luis Guerín, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul —Palme d'Or winner at Cannes—, Miñarro once again unfolds a deeply personal universe. With echoes of Luis Buñuel's surrealism and a magical realism as strange as it is hypnotic, the film invites us on a journey into unknown, intimate, and evocative territories. Aboard a spectral bus and accompanied by performers like Emma Suárez, Aida Folch, Albert Pla, and Naomi Kawase, Emergency Exit delves into the deepest folds of memory, dreams, and the secrets that reside within us.
