Stories Not to Be Told (Historias para no contar)

Directed by Cesc Gay
Spain
2022
100 mins

Stories Not to Be Told shines the comedic spotlight on those kinds of situations we’ve all found ourselves in, but which we’d rather no one ever knew about, or which we wish we could forget altogether. Meeting that unexpected person, suffering a public humiliation, or making an absurd decision.

Five stories, a sardonic yet sympathetic ode to humans’ inability to govern our own emotions and not being able to stop, even though we know we should.
