Leaving July 1

Directed by Óliver Laxe | 86 mins | 2019
Filmed in and around Galicia’s Serra dos Ancares mountains, Laxe’s contemplative Un Certain Regard Jury Prize-winner "Fire Will Come" is the story of Amador (Amador Arias), a convicted firebug who has come home from prison to live with his mother, Benedicta (Benedicta Sanchez, like Arias, a nonprofessional actor). His attempts to acclimate himself to life on the outside are disrupted by a blaze that devastates the countryside, setting already-suspicious neighbors’ tongues to wagging.
