About this Event

The Instituto Cervantes, in collaboration with the University of Leeds, is pleased to present a special screening of the film Rafael as part of the SPLAS Film Club 2025-2026.

Rafael tells the story of a 42-year-old man facing a profound personal crisis. Living under the shadow of his father, Rafael struggles with guilt over rarely visiting his elderly mother, tension with his ex-wife who complains he doesn’t spend enough time with their daughter, and an unresolved commitment to his current girlfriend. His life takes an unexpected turn after suffering a minor heart attack, which leads to a reunion with Juan Carlos, a childhood friend who helps him revisit and make sense of his past.

This introspective drama explores themes of family, regret, reconciliation, and the challenges of adulthood. Through Rafael’s journey, the film offers a poignant reflection on personal growth and the importance of confronting one’s history to move forward.

📽️ The film will be shown in Spanish with English subtitles.

El Instituto Cervantes, en colaboración con la Universidad de Leeds, se complace en presentar una proyección especial de la película Rafael como parte del Club de Cine SPLAS 2025-2026.

Rafael narra la historia de un hombre de 42 años que atraviesa una profunda crisis personal. Viviendo a la sombra de su padre, Rafael carga con la culpa por visitar poco a su madre anciana, enfrenta tensiones con su exmujer, quien reclama que no pasa suficiente tiempo con su hija, y mantiene un compromiso pendiente con su novia actual. Su vida da un giro inesperado tras sufrir un leve infarto, que lo lleva a reencontrarse con Juan Carlos, un amigo de la infancia que le ayuda a revisar y comprender su pasado.

Este drama introspectivo explora temas como la familia, el arrepentimiento, la reconciliación y los desafíos de la madurez. A través del viaje de Rafael, la película ofrece una reflexión profunda sobre el crecimiento personal y la importancia de confrontar el pasado para avanzar.

📽️ La película se proyectará en español con subtítulos en inglés.
