Ficci English Fiction is a 2006 Spanish drama film directed by Cesc Gay. The film follows a couple in their thirties who fall in love during a brief encounter, while vacationing on the Pyrenees.
During an excursion to the nearby lakes lex and Monica become separated from Santi and Judith on a mountain walk, and are forced to stay overnight in a mountain shelter. The wild setting is just right for romance and clearly there is a deep connection between them, but they do not act on their feelings of talk about them, instead their friendship deepens while talking about their lives. lex is married with two daughters. His wife, Silvia, was his high school sweetheart. Their marriage had not been an easy road and they even had to separate for one year. Monica has recently adopted a daughter from Africa. She has settle in the last two years with a journalist in the first steady relationship of her life.Both lex and Santi ache to communicate but are embarrassed to do so. The usually carefree Santi has been reevaluating his own aimless life in the face of mortality and is planning to have a child with Judith, a project that had to be postponed by Judiths recent health scare. Unable to find motivation in his selfimposed exile to finish his work, lex decides to return home early, and agrees to join Santi and the others on a final camping trip to the Pyrenees in a show of solidarity for their ailing friend before heading back to the city. However, when Alex and Monica become hopelessly lost after hiking on the wrong mountain on their way back to the base of the trail, the two find themselves drawn even further together by their shared misadventure. Similar to the unmotivated, 39yearold protagonist of his latest film, Alex, too, faces a daunting blank page, vacillating between the commercial demands of his profession and integrity of his creative vision, youthful liberation and middleaged inhibition. Like lexs unfinished script, their brief encounter, too, remains an unwritten fiction charged with imagined possibility and resigned regret. ........
