“Cómicos” is a sentimental road movie in which we have accompanied the veteran Benavente Company on their tour of Spain. It is the last touring repertory theatre company left in Spain, whose patriarchs, Luis and Aurora, are approaching 80 years old. At the same time, on this emotional journey, we are introduced to the supporting actors, such as Manuel Andrés oandAmparo Pacheco - also octogenarians - who live their profession with dignity and unwavering enthusiasm. In “Cómicos” the names of our protagonists do not appear on illuminated signs but they shine with their own light in a film that talks about passion, the passage of time and the thin line that separates triumph and failure.

Juan is an elderly man returning home by train who meets a young woman on the journey and strikes up a conversation with her. The conversation revolves around his profession as a railway worker and the landscape through which the train travels, but above all, Juan talks about love: love for his wife, for the life he has lived, and for commuter trains as a place for meeting and conversation, because there was a time when the important thing about the journey was not the destination, but who was traveling beside you.
