Las cosas como son

About This Movie

Las cosas como son is a quiet yet intense exploration of isolation and human connection. Jerónimo, this peculiar and socially withdrawn guy, rents out rooms to expats, but not for the money—he's really just there to rummage through their lives. The film creates a unique atmosphere, almost claustrophobic, as you watch Jerónimo's world shift when Sanna steps into it. Their relationship develops with a slow burn that’s quite captivating, and you can almost feel the tension as secrets unravel. The performances are subtle but striking, particularly how Jerónimo's character grapples with his own demons and the intrusion of someone else's life. It’s a film that lingers in your mind, making you ponder the nature of trust and vulnerability in an increasingly disconnected world.
