Ñora Spanish Cuisine Pop-Up Restaurant and Film Night at La Peña
¡Cine, Cena y Cerveza!
We believe that good film, like food, is an art form. Film is a way in which we entertain, educate and express ourselves. Film reflects culture, and inevitably affects it. Spanish film in particular is a genre, which due to Spain’s unique history has an incredible repertoire.

Volver (“to return” in Spanish) is a 2006 Spanish film written and directed by Pedro Almodóvar. Starring actress Penélope Cruz. The film revolves around an eccentric family of women from a wind-swept region south of Madrid. Cruz plays Raimunda, a woman forced to go to great lengths to protect her 14-year-old daughter Paula. Her mother Irene comes back from the dead to tie up loose ends. There is death, tragedy, love, magical realism and comedy. Volver was one of the films competing for the Palme d’Or at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.
