Pedro Almodóvar’s first English Language film delves into the complexities of companionship in the face of mortality. Estranged friends, Ingrid (Julianne Moore) and Martha (Tilda Swinton), reconnect when Ingrid is diagnosed with terminal cancer. As Ingrid faces her imminent death she turns to Martha for support. The Room Next Door explores the themes of friendship, love, and the profound choices we make at the end of life.
The afternoon screening is subtitled for those with hearing loss.
Ingrid (Julianne Moore) and Martha (Tilda Swinton) were close friends in their youth, when they worked together at the same magazine. Ingrid went on to become an autofiction novelist while Martha became a war reporter, and they were separated by the circumstances of life. After years of being out of touch, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation.
