The quietly spellbinding new drama from rising Spanish writer/director Alauda Ruiz de Azúa (Lullaby), SUNDAYS deftly captures the rupture within a family after a young woman defies expectations with her chosen vocation.

Every Sunday when she’s home from boarding school, brilliant and deeply religious 17-year-old Ainiara (compelling newcomer Blanca Soroa) and her extended family gather for lunch at the home of her grandmother. One day, she shocks everyone by revealing that, rather than pursue university, she is considering following her faith to become a cloistered nun. Her bombshell ripples through the family, particularly affecting her widowed restauranteur father, and her aunt Maite (Patricia López Arnaiz), an intelligent and supposedly tolerant woman who has been very active in raising her, challenging their worldviews and igniting long-buried tensions.
