Laura Rius Aran

Agatha has just started University, but she still sees her old school friends, sharing parties, private secrets, trips, jokes and debates. A private world full of memories that she will now have to measure against her new college friends and the changes that she’s begun to discover in herself. The film Agatha’s Friends is the portrait of a group of 20-year-old girls during their first year at University as seen through Agatha’s eyes. From their lives in Barcelona to a trip up the coast to the Costa Brava, where Agatha will feel how the world she built with her childhood friends Carla, Ari and Mar, has begun to change.

Magdalena, Oriane, Anna, Solène and Morgane. It has been ten years since they last saw each other. When they were sixteen, they went together on a girl's trip. In a beautiful house, facing the sea. They went to the beach, drank a bit of wine, danced... And then everything burned.

Foster Wallace already proved in one of his books that narrating a tourist cruise can be much less bland than it seems if we apply a sufficient dose of playfulness. Something similar is achieved by Laura Rius and Carlos Solano in this unusual film, a subtle vindication of the pleasure of storytelling, which transcends not only the banality of its setting, but also the premises of a story that is presented as a documentary and then let itself be carried away by much more unpredictable currents.
