The Bed

About This Movie

The Bed is a quiet, almost haunting exploration of the end of a relationship, set against the backdrop of a sweltering Buenos Aires weekend. Mónica Lairana crafts a very intimate space; the family home feels both familiar and suffocating as Jorge and Mabel navigate their last moments together. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build slowly as they confront their shared memories and unspoken regrets. The performances are raw, with a palpable chemistry that transforms the simple act of sharing a bed into something much heavier. There's an understated beauty in the way everyday objects become symbols of their past, lending the film a distinctive, contemplative atmosphere. It’s a poignant reminder of how places hold memories, and how letting go can be just as hard as holding on.
