Friend Zone

“All girls want him… as a friend”

Txema (Gorka Otxoa) comes out of a relationship of several years in Bilbao and meets Claudia (Sabrina Garciarena), an Argentinian woman, in a situation awkward enough that neither forgets it. Borja Cobeaga lets them become friends so quickly and so easily that Txema reads her warmth as romantic interest. The film is about how a person mistakes kindness for wanting, and how much that costs the friendship.
