🎬 Girlfriends and Girlfriends

Following a painful breakup, thirty-year-old Zaida returns to Barcelona seeking emotional recovery and a fresh start. Reconnecting with a lively group of lesbian and bisexual friends in their thirties—who continue to live with the impulsive energy of their twenties—Zaida finds herself swept into a tangled web of romantic entanglements and casual encounters. As the friends endlessly swap partners, fall in and out of love, and search for fulfillment across the bathrooms, bedrooms, and sunlit streets of Catalonia, Zaida navigates the messy overlap between friendship and desire while trying to define what she truly wants from love.

🗣️ Critical Consensus: Directed by Zaida Carmona, Girlfriends and Girlfriends (La amiga de mi amiga) is an upbeat, breezy low-budget romantic comedy infused with playful autofiction and electropop energy. Hailed by critics as a "queer Éric Rohmer meets Greta Gerwig" homage, the film offers a relatable, charming, and uninhibited portrait of modern sapphic relationships and millennial messiness in Barcelona.
