Movie of the Day: La amiga de mi amiga (2022) by Zaida Carmona

Life is like a movie for Zaida, an aspiring filmmaker navigating Barcelona’s queer dating scene after she’s recently been dumped. Taking place over the course of three weeks, La amiga de mi amiga follows Zaida through a series of fast-paced romantic highs and lows, all while she's trying to finish her script. After meeting Lara – her girlfriend’s new girlfriend – at a party and immediately falling for her, they keep bumping into each other at the cinema; their story reflects the three Eric Rohmer films (A Good Marriage, The Green Ray, and My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend) they watch over the course of the film.
