Live Twice, Love Once (2019)

In the sun-drenched city of Valencia, Emilio, a retired academic and widower, finds solace in the predictable rhythm of his days, punctuated by meals at his favourite bar and the challenge of magic squares in the newspaper. However, when the simple puzzle becomes insurmountable and familiar streets turn into tangled labyrinths, Emilio is thrust into an unexpected journey. A routine hospital visit discloses the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, a silent thief destined to rob him of his memories and identity. On the heels of this revelation, Emilio encounters his estranged daughter, Julia, a medical sales representative. Learning of her father's condition, Julia orchestrates a family gathering with her internet-aspiring motivational coach husband, Felipe, and their tech-savvy, street-smart daughter, Blanca. The intention is to discuss the inevitable progression of Emilio's disease, but the patriarch dismisses their concerns. Emilio, a man firmly rooted in the 20th century, finds himself swept up in the digital age when a visit from Blanca leads him to rediscover Margarita, his childhood sweetheart. As destiny would have it, Blanca stumbles upon Emilio's plan to drive across Spain to Navarra, to find Margarita. She leverages this information to join him on his quest, but a sudden memory lapse at a gas station brings their plans to an abrupt halt. Compelled by the situation, Julia and Felipe set out to find Emilio and Blanca. The reason for Emilio's journey, once revealed, stirs up a whirlwind of emotions, causing Julia to reevaluate her stance. A heated exchange with Blanca further reveals Felipe's infidelity, pushing the family into a collective pursuit of Margarita in Navarra. In this poignant journey across Spain, the family not only reconnects but also rediscovers the essence of life and the true value of relationships. Live Twice, Love Once is a heartfelt exploration of love, family, memory, and the enduring power of the human spirit against the backdrop of a devastating disease.
