Fantasear es de locas
2025 · 3m · España
Directed by Estrella Asensio de la Fuente, Sergio Muñoz Cano
Genres: coming-of-age, drama
Tones: contemplative, melancholic
Amid adolescent confusion, an inner voice wonders what it means to be oneself while coping with the pressure of others, the constant gaze of parents, and the silent pact of keeping up appearances; between rebellion and fragility, she discovers that escaping may not be a destination but a way of continuing to search for who she is.

It's a competent coming-of-age meditation, sure, but the internal-voice-over-pretty-visuals formula is exactly what consensus expects from a film about adolescent confusion—Asensio de la Fuente and Muñoz Cano are playing it too safe to genuinely subvert the genre they're working in.
The film's restraint and formal clarity—the way it holds space for silence and fragmentation rather than resolving its protagonist's crisis—positions it thoughtfully within the tradition of European coming-of-age cinema, particularly the Spanish school of intimate psychological portraiture.
What elevates this beyond the premise is the sound design and editing rhythm; the way the inner voice is layered and sometimes drowned out by ambient noise becomes the actual formal argument about selfhood, and that single decision makes the three minutes feel necessary rather than abbreviated.
