Granada Nights

Synopsis

A story of self-discovery about Ben, a British-Pakistani tourist, who travels to Granada, Spain to save his relationship with his long term girlfriend Helen who’s studying abroad. But when Ben arrives it’s too late.
Heartbroken, Ben struggles to get over Helen and finds himself lost in a city full of backpackers, study-abroad-students, Moroccan immigrants and Flamenco Gypsies.
It’s only when he meets a group of teenage students Oscar (Swedish), Lucas (Spanish), Silvia (Portuguese), bartender Big Dave (Tunisian) and rose-seller Bilal (Pakistani) that he starts to develop a sense of belonging and purpose.
With his new foreign friends he pushes himself out of his comfort zone, immerses himself in the foreign culture and tries to find love in the international student scene. But behind every corner is a reminder of Helen and his struggle to find closure.
