Experiencing Interruptions?

Deuce

A married couple plays a tennis match. Although he is incapable of returning a ball, she keeps playing as if nothing happens. The match does not seem to go forward, and a mutual resentment settles in the court. Until a deuce point impossible to resolve brings back a passion that was gone long ago.

Director Biography - Alexandre Casanovas

Filmed several music videos for Spanish artists before shooting his first short, “Consuelo” (Solace, 35mm, 2005), in which silences and shadows share the screen with the characters. In 2008, he starts working with improvisations; during this period he films “El Escondite” (Hide & Seek, HD,2009) and “Una del Oeste” (A Western, 35mm, 2013), with male characters trapped in their own role stereotypes. In 2015, he returns to screenplay-based films with “40 Iguals” (Deuce), a comedy about a middle-age couple who solves their differences playing a tennis match.
