The Room Next Door
Singapore Premiere
Pedro Almodóvar Spain 2024 107 min M18 (Mature Theme)
A terminally ill woman reconnects with an estranged friend to accompany her in her final days.
In the wake of her terminal cancer diagnosis, Martha reconnects with her former close friend, Ingrid, whose company she seeks in her final days. The pair move to a rented vacation home outside of New York, where they tend gently to their fraught relationship. Amid Martha’s looming mortality and the gulf of time between them which resists easy closure, the simple act of reaching out for understanding takes on a new significance.
Based on Sigrid Nunez’s 2020 novel What Are You Going Through, this is an intimate exploration of female friendship. The emotional terrain of the women’s tangled histories and imminent loss is drawn out with grace and restraint through a screenplay that swells with unspoken pleas for forgiveness.
