What some filmmakers do when they are not making movies: they waste time; they eat and get drunk; they take a walk after watching a film; they fall in love; they are alone or with friends, building future memories for a future film. ‘13 + 13’ in the title refers to the 2013 release of Los ilusos, the previous black-and-white version, plus the thirteen years that elapsed until 2026, when this new colour version emerged. “We were tempted to confront both versions, but finally we decided that they could coexist and add up, and the result is a film that seems fairer to us” (Jonás Trueba).
