Based on the famous novel by Salvador Espriu, the film 'Laia' is set in the imaginary village of Poet, a fishing village inhabited by a number of extreme characters, doomed inevitably to the adversities of fate. There lives Laia, a beautiful woman marked by an unhappy childhood and now seemingly in an unhappy marriage , who starts dreaming of freedom while facing the hatred & disapproval of the conservative village community. A story of betrayal , lust and love , this new film adaptation, directed by Lluís Danés, creates a magical atmosphere to explain a delicate and tragic story of fatal destiny. Filmed in Arenys de Mar , "Laia" was conceived as a visual extravaganza with a magnificent theatrical work by Sylvia Steinbrecht.
