The Red Squirrel (aka La Ardilla Roja) (1993)
An anti-macho parable by internatioanlly-acclaimed director Julio Medem (Sex and Lucia, Vacas, Lovers of the Arctic Circle), The Red Squirrel is an intriguing drama that draws its characters and audience into a complex game of lies and deceit. Contemplating suicide as he stands against the parapet of a pier one summer night, ex-pop star Jota (Nancho Nova - Lovers of the Arctic Circle) is interrupted by a sudden motorcycle accident. Rushing to the scene he discovers that the injured biker is an attractive young woman suffering from amnesia (Emma Suárez - Vacas). Masquerading as her boyfriend, he names her Lisa, invents a shared history for the two of them and whisks her off on a holiday to the Red Squirrel campsite. Here he reinforces his deception by keeping up the facade of their long-term relationship in front of the other campers. However, it is not long before Jota has to confront the surprising consequences of his lie, as there is more to Lisa than meets the eye...
