Bitter Christmas (2026) | Official Trailer | Sony Pictures Classics

Reality and fiction become impossible to separate in Bitter Christmas (2026), the latest film from Academy Award-winning Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar, starring Bárbara Lennie, Leonardo Sbaraglia, Aitana Sánchez-Gijón, Victoria Luengo, Patrick Criado, and Milena Smit.

The film unfolds across two intertwined stories. In 2004, advertising director Elsa struggles with grief following the death of her mother and escapes Madrid for a December weekend in Lanzarote with her friend Patricia. In 2026, filmmaker and screenwriter Raúl attempts to overcome a creative drought by writing a screenplay that gradually reveals itself to be Elsa’s story. As personal experience becomes artistic material, Bitter Christmas explores grief, inspiration, relationships, and the complicated boundary between real life and autofiction.
