Muy lejos
Gerard Oms / ES, NL, 2025 / 100 min.
Sergio travels to Utrecht with his family to attend a football match. Before catching the flight back to Barcelona,he suffers a panic attack and decides to stay in Holland. Unable to give a logical explanation to his family, he cuts off contact with his past.
From then on, Sergio will have to survive without money, without friends, without a home and without speaking the language, until he is able to find himself. Starring Mario Casas, Muy lejos is more than a survival story; it is a profound reflection on identity, loneliness, and the need for reinvention.
Through Sergio’s disconnection, the film invites the audience to explore fear, isolation, and the desperate desire to find oxygen in a stifling life. With a seamless blend of cultures, this Spanish-Dutch co-production offers an intimate and moving experience, reminding us that sometimes, losing ourselves is the only way to truly find who we are.
