Synopsis
Australian premiere
El bus de la vida
Andrés (Dani Rovira, Spanish Affair), a music teacher from Madrid, finds his life at a crossroads when he's assigned to a high school in a remote Basque town. Recently turning 40 and still clinging to the dream of becoming a musician, he feels stuck—his stage fright keeping his true passion just out of reach.
But everything changes when he begins taking a quirky coach to Bilbao. Onboard, his fellow travellers’ warmth, humour, and unfiltered honesty spark something in him. Among them is a luminescent young woman with whom Andrés begins to find a surprising connection.
Through laughter, friendship, and unexpected feelings, Andrés begins to rediscover his confidence and reignite his passion for music. What starts as a reluctant move soon turns into a transformative journey—one that might finally lead him to the life, he’s always dreamed of.
From the Oscar-nominated producers of Robot Dreams and inspired by the real-life experiences of a relative of director Ibón Cormenzana (Beyond the Summit), The Bus of Life is a life-affirming, music-filled journey.
