Innocent

Micky is a young man who wakes up hungover one day in bed with Elsa, a mentally handicapped young woman, and he has no idea how he got there. Little by little he comes to realize he is in a supervised living facility inhabited by last night’s hookup and her two housemates. As he tries to piece the night back together in his head, the supervisor of the group, Alicia, arrives.

Álvaro Pastor has worked in advertising as a director and has written, directed and produced short films, including Los dardos del amor (1998), Uno más, uno menos (2002) co-directed with Antonio Naharro, and Invulnerable (2005), which won awards the Malaga, Krakow and Toronto Film Festivals. This director from Madrid wrote and produced his first feature film with Antonio Naharro, Yo, también (2009), a story about the love, passion and friendship between Daniel (Pablo Pineda), a young, 32 year-old from Seville and the first European with Down syndrome to have graduated from university, and Laura (Lola Dueñas), a co- worker with no apparent disability with whom he falls in love. Yo también was widely successful due in large part to the lead actors, as proven by their respective Silver Shell Awards at the San Sebastian Film Festival. And the success did not end there, because Pastor was nominated for Best New Director at the 24th Goya Awards.
