About this listen

Electrodomésticos is an elegant yet powerful depiction of the post Spanish Civil War era, where class divisions lay bare those who can afford to eat a decent meal and those who can not. Josu is an inexperienced electrician, tasked with installing an oven in the home of an upper-class Basque couple. He’s completely captivated. But the couple, though they seem to have it all, are in a prison of their own. Mesmerizing in its subtlety and sinister intimations, Electrodomésticos reveals the poverty and loneliness of this era.

I believe that in order to understand the story I would have to know more about Spain’s history and the situation with the Vasque population. I also think that a lot was lost in translation as it seems to me the original story was written in Spanish.

Lost in translation…
