If you loved El síndrome asténico, try Larga despedida
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Kira Muratova, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to El síndrome asténico, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Larga despedida is
A Soviet family unravels when a son returns from summer with his father speaking perfect English and wearing Western clothes. The mother grapples with his transformation while clinging to old routines. Muratova frames quiet domestic rifts with ironic precision, a 1980s snapshot where ideology leaks through everyday gestures.
