Gorka Otxoa: “In ‘Machos Alfa’ we have learned about micro-machismos that we were not aware of”
Ernesto refuses to face reality. His wife has left him and he insists on keeping his chin up to continue clinging to a chimera. Gorka Otxoa (San Sebastián, 1979) premieres Ni contigo ni sin mí, a comedy directed by María Ruiz, with Manuela Vellés, Cristina Maisonnave, and Iván Sánchez as co-stars. “The first stage of grief is denial and this man is deeply immersed in it. Even when the divorce papers arrive, he says that Laura still loves him, that she will realize it, and that this is a minor crisis.”
