Pablo's Winter plot

"The more you listen to doctors, the sooner you die," said Pablo, a gruff old man in his 70s who claims to be living in stoppage time after a number of heart attacks. He carelessly ignores the well-intentioned advice of his GP and family. Pablo's Winter, shot in Almadén, Spain, looks like a polished arthouse film in terms of image and structure. Very recognizable are scenes in which he quarrels with his wife, for whom he always has to wait an excruciatingly long time before they can leave the house, or in which she, after long insistence, persuades him to dance with visible reluctance. Yet Pablo carries the tender heart in the right place, as is evident when he teaches his grandson to ride a bicycle, lays out a card with his mates, draws a drowned sheep on dry land or muses about his past in the mercury mines.
