Synopsis
Based on the novel by Silvia Soler, "39+1" delves into the daily life of Ilia (Cecilia), a woman on the precipice of her forties who is trying hard to be a superwoman. She wants to be a success at work as the coordinator of a magazine, to have a loving and supportive husband, to be the perfect mum for her three kids – a teenage son from her previous marriage and two daughters from her current partner -, to go out with her friends and to care for her aging parents. But it’s all a bit too much in these times we live in and she’s fighting a losing battle trying to cover so many flanks and getting into impossible situations she just can’t manage. "39+1" interweaves scenes of the protagonist’s work life and family life with scenes of the world of her soon-to-be-40 friends, with whom she shares her innermost thoughts, desires and frustrations. All with a good dose of humour offset with more sombre moments in which the characters express their angst in a context of crisis... and it’s not just the midlife crisis.
