Spanish for Adults

Ispanu kalba suaugusiems

Directing: Tomas Tamosaitis

Synopsis

A tiny classroom in the Spanish heartland is a meeting point and a shelter for adult immigrants who came to Spain driven by the "European dream" to start a new life. Brought together by fate into a small Spanish town, alienated and homesick, these people indulge in playful and enthusiastic language-learning process, guided by the extraordinary teacher Maria Antonia. 48 year-old Maria Antonia gets her inspiration from her dreams of becoming an actress. It seems sometimes that the classroom transforms to the stage, with Antonia as a leading actress. Film director Tomas Tamosaitis tried to learn Spanish Antonia's way as one of her students. The result is SPANISH FOR ADULTS - a nostalgic, warm, funny and serene portrait of people who still believe that, whatever may happen, it´s necessary to keep on dreaming.
