Jonás Trueba’s ‘The Other Way Around’ Wins Best European Film Prize at Directors’ Fortnight
"It is a pleasing beacon of positivity, and one which we feel will appeal to audiences around Europe," said the jury.
The film turns on Ale (Itsaso Arana – who co-wrote the screenplay with Trueba) and Alex (Vito Sanz), who have been together for 15 years. Humorous and cleverly written, the film’s circular structure manifests generosity of spirit in its inspiring look at human relationships. The younger Trueba has paved his own way as a celebrated filmmaker with recent festival darlings such as 2019 Karlovy Vary FIPRESCI winner “The August Virgin” and “Quién lo Impide,” which won three prizes at San Sebastian in 2021.
