LATIN SPOTLIGHT FILM & PARTY: Jone, Sometimes (Jone, Batzuetan)

Set against the exuberant streets of Bilbao’s Semana Grande festival, Jone, Sometimes follows 20-year-old Jone as she experiences the dizzying intensity of first love with Olga while her father’s Parkinson’s disease worsens. Amid fireworks, music, and late-night conversations, Jone’s affection for Olga becomes a catalyst for self-discovery and emotional emancipation, blurring joy with vulnerability. Sara Fantova captures desire, tenderness, and the uncertainty of becoming in a film where queer intimacy exists as a natural, radiant force. This coming-of-age portrait is at once spirited and poignant, celebrating love’s ability to transform, sustain, and define us.
