"Talk to Her goes beyond tears. It's unmissable and unforgettable."
Rolling Stone Magazine
Have we piqued your interest yet? Here's a quick synopsis, for those
interested:
The curtain of salmon colored roses and heavy gold fringing which covers the
stage is pulled back to reveal a Pina Bausch spectacle, Café Müller. Among the
spectators, two men are sitting together by chance. They don't know each
other.
They are Benigno (a young nurse) and Marco (a writer in his early forties). On
the stage, filled with wooden chairs and tables, two women, their eyes closed
and their arms extended, are moving to the music of The Fairy Queen, by Henry
Purcell. The piece is so moving that Marco starts to cry. Benigno can see the
gleam of his chance companion's tears, in the darkness of the stalls. He'd
like
to tell him that he too is moved by the spectacle but he doesn't dare.
Months later, the two men meet again at "El Bosque", a private clinic where
Benigno works. Lydia, Marco's girlfriend and a bullfighter by profession, has
been gored and is in a coma. It so happens that Benigno is looking after
another woman in a coma, Alicia, a young ballet student.
When Marco walks by the door of Alicia's room, Benigno doesn't think twice
before speaking to him. It's the start of an intense friendship... as
lineal as
a roller coaster. During this period of suspended time between the walls
of the
clinic, the lives of the four characters will flow in all directions, past,
present and future, dragging all of them towards an unsuspected destiny.
