Movie #337 .........................."For 80 Days"

Movie #337 "For 80 Days" is an unusual story about two women who rekindle a relationship after 50 years in a hospital room where they are visiting two comatose patients. The conflict is that one woman is married, while the other one is a lesbian ---- the one who is married starts to question her life --- it seems to be all cleaning and cooking and not much else, and she searches for some spark --- is it with this new woman? The title refers to the time period they visit the patients, and in that time, both women go through major changes in their lives, and they try to find the strength to face their problems head on. A very good film, full of a very competent cast. It takes place in Basque country (northern part of Spain) with subtitles, and I give it 4 stars. (saw it at the Chicago Film Festival)
