Barcelona
Americans. Anti Americans. In love.
Directed by Whit Stillman
Produced by Castle Rock Entertainment, Westerly Films
A romantic comedy-drama about two American cousins navigating love, cultural friction, and personal growth in 1980s Barcelona.
During the 1980s, uptight Ted Boynton is a salesman working in the Barcelona office of a Chicago-based company. He receives an unexpected visit from his cousin Fred, a naval officer who has come to Spain on a public relations mission for a U.S. fleet. Not exactly friends in the past, Ted and Fred strike up relationships with women in the Spanish city and experience conflicts -- Ted with his employer, and Fred with the Barcelona community.
