Gloria is 58-years-old, divorced and no longer has children to care for, but the last thing she wants to do is settle down to a life of quiet solitude. Instead, she spends her nights partying away at the local clubs and bars, and eventually meets Rodolfo - a former naval officer who charms her and makes her feel like a young woman again. However, he appears to be less adventurous than she, and their whirlwind romance begins to wane when she suggests they abandon work for a short while to go dancing in Cuba. She wants to introduce him to her family, but when she tries, he is no longer picking up the phone. The pair are forced to confront their own needs and desires if they want to continue their blossoming relationship.
'Gloria' is an adorable Spanish romance drama about how finding love later in life can be just as thrilling and rollercoaster-like as young love. Directed by Sebastian Lelio ('Christmas', 'El ano del tigre') who co-wrote the screenplay with his frequent writing partner Gonzalo Maza, the flick has been selected as the Chilean entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the upcoming Academy Awards. It will be released in the UK on November 1st 2013.
