Emotional Architecture 1959

A playful romantic film set in Madrid during the Franco regime shows the role that architecture and urban planning can play in a romantic story. It is October 1959, the beginning of the winter semester, and young philosophy students Sebas and Andrea, from completely opposite socio-economic backgrounds, meet on a park bench. While she lives in a downtown apartment building next to the park, his family is crowded into a small apartment in a social housing colony outside the city. Here, architecture does not act as a mere backdrop, but as an active agent of the story.
