Emiliano Granada Ensconsed in Tribeca’s Midnight section, Spain’s “One Night With Adela” the feature debut of Hugo Ruiz, came pretty much from nowhere to walk off with the festival’s best new narrative director award, won in the past by Michelle Garza Cervera for “Huesera.” Produced by Spain’s Muertos de Envidia Company and FTFCam, the film follows Adela, a deeply wounded and disturbed night sweeper that is hellbent on retaliating against those who she believes have wronged her.
Over the course of one night, we accompany Adela, slowly putting together the pieces of who she truly is. Shot on a variety of one shot sequences that find a style and aesthetic in the bleak night universe that Adela traverses, the film is driven by Laura Galán who proves once again – after Sundance hit “Piggy” (2022) – that she has the acting strength to carry an entire film by herself. #ConUnPack will handle international sales and distribution in Spain.
Also written by Ruiz, who was inspired by “Victoria” (2015), a thriller that thrives on the concept of a one sequence film, “One Night With Adela” belongs to a trilogy currently in development whose all three films take place simultaneously, during Adela’s fateful night.
Below, Ruiz speaks to Variety about the film. The film does an excellent job at pacing how much information it delivers to the audience and how that affects our understanding of the character.
