We are thrilled to be screening one of the most successful Catalan films at the box office in the last decade, loved by audiences and celebrated by critics. A House on Fire (2024) is a darkly comedic portrayal of a dysfunctional Catalan family reuniting at their coastal home on the Costa Brava. Montse, played wonderfully by Emma Vilarasau, brings her family together for an important discussion, but tensions quickly rise, threatening to implode the reunion. This ensemble film cleverly mixes family drama with moments of sharp humour, exploring themes of love, money and family obligations.
