Encrucijada

Encrucijada tells the heartfelt and humorous story of Adriana, a Latin American journalist with a flourishing career who moves to Spain to be closer to her long-distance boyfriend. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Spanish cities from the south to the north, Adriana embarks on a surprising and emotional journey when she decides to surprise her boyfriend on their anniversary by showing up at his house in Málaga. To her shock, she discovers that he has moved to San Sebastian without telling her, leaving her to question whether he's been hiding other secrets.

Stranded and running out of money, Adriana crosses paths with Manuel, a mysterious man who offers her a ride north. Together, they embark on a road trip through some of Spain’s most iconic cities, from Seville to Madrid and finally San Sebastian. Along the way, the two clash and bond over their differing perspectives on life and love, slowly developing feelings for each other that challenge Adriana's original intentions. The journey becomes a beautiful homage to Spanish culture, filled with comedic moments and touching revelations.
