After years apart, Óscar and Ana share an afternoon in The New Years—until a 50-euro request unleashes old wounds and doubts in episode 9, now streaming on MUBI.
Tense Reunion at Rehab Center
At 38, Óscar and Ana head to visit friend Guille at a detox center. It’s their first afternoon together in ages, stirring up buried memories.
Ana’s rebuilding in Madrid, but seeing Óscar pulls her back. A countryside walk sours when Guille asks Óscar for 50 euros to help a friend.
Óscar hands it over, yet senses trouble. Demanding it back sparks a fierce argument, dredging up long-held doubts and their irreversible changes.
A love story where rewards are hard-won—and thus immensely valuable.
The New Years, helmed by César-winning director Rodrigo Sorogoyen (The Beasts), tracks Ana (Iria Del Río, Apocalypse Z) and Óscar (Francesco Carril, Three Goodbyes) across ten New Year’s Eves.
From their first spark at 30 to love’s yearly trials, each episode unveils modern romance. The finale drops January 28 on MUBI.
