Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: A natural pick for anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Leaves you with something to think about.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 36 min.
What might put you off: It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Environmental drama set in Asturias, Spain. A Scottish travel writer is forced to stay in a valley town in northern Spain when his camper van breaks down. There he gets to know the different inhabitants, some of them struggling to close down the nearby power station and some trying to make it more prosperous.
