The Masterpiece (La Gran Obra) (2024) Sundance 2024


A rich couple meet a couple of scrap dealers at a recycling center. They take them home but it soon transpires the couple wants something from the scrap dealers.

Short story like short film is an unexpected gem.  Nicely self contained the film tells its story with economy and doesn't feel like this is a proof of concept.(Though I would love to see a film about the scrappers.)

Beautifully acted and made, it's clear why director Alex Lora-Cercos has had multiple films at Sundance.
