First day of spanish film festival

Yesterday I had a chance to see 2 movies from the festival. First of them (Yo tambien) was a complete surprise, because Pablo Pineda (Daniel) appeared in the cinema!!! This actor is amazing! He is sick, but still acts as a normal, healthy person. For me it was great experience and moreover I like movie a lot! Daniel is 34 years old, loves life and has a great sense of humor. He is first European with down complex who graduated university and is just taking his first job in the center that is helping other people with similar sickness. Here he meets Laura (Lola Duenas) - go-ahead and uncompromising women that is also a little bit lost. She hides her past before the world. They start to spend more and more time with each other, but things got more complicated over time. Daniel falls in love with Laura, but she sees only friend in him...
I definitely recommend this movie to everyone. It will be shown in polish cinemas starting April, so you should have a chance to see it.
The other movie I saw yesterday, was "Los Lunes al Sol". It's quite different from the first one. Its action is held in industrial city of Galicia, Spain. One of the main character - Santa - is unemployed shipyard worker who has no idea for his further life. Along with his friends being in similar situation he spends a lot of time in the bar or wandering across the city without any aim. Guys are trying to find some fun in their boring and hopeless life, they're trying to survive blankness and being unwanted, excluded by society. They have fun discussing everything and nothing in one of the sunny Mondays....
This movie was quite different, but also interesting. If you have chance to see it, you can try, but I don't guarantee you'll like it. So decide for yourself...
