Everything Else is Noise

Woman with cello in a living room, surrounded by books and plants.

Rosa, a contemporary music composer, agrees to give her first television interview at the apartment of her colleague Tere. What begins as a simple favor spirals into a comedic chamber piece of tensions and old affections, disrupted by power outages, a relentlessly barking dog, an inept interviewer and crew, and the sudden arrival of a famous composer.

The chaotic and cacophonous backdrop creates exactly the wrong kind of symphony for the women, allowing prolific auteur Nicolás Pereda to hit all the right notes. In this witty and absurd comedy, Pereda uses his trademark light, deadpan touch to deliver a funny, feminist-minded satire of the music world and of artists themselves.
