It is November on the outskirts of an anonymous European city. Five different people are killing time in a variety of peculiar ways. But the pretence that their lives are under control is unravelling; all of them are trapped in the wreckage of recent love affairs. Wracked by insomnia, self-abandonment, midnight confessions and desperate behaviour, their lives soon take unexpected turns as they try to win back the objects of their affection.

Canciones De Invierno is a surreal comedy, inspired by the sorrows and absurdities of life. The film received the Jury’s Special Mention of Honour at Las Palmas International Film Festival.
