If you loved Un doctor en la campiña, try Mentes brillantes
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 Thomas Lilti, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Un doctor en la campiña, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Mentes brillantes is
Here's a film about the pressures of higher education, just in case you forgot. Two first-year med students, one a hopeful newbie and the other a repeat offender, navigate a cutthroat academic gauntlet. It's a French movie about the perils of trying hard, which means it's also about giving up.
