What Fat People Is About

A therapy group brings together people trying to do something about their weight, and the film loses interest in the weight itself almost immediately. What it examines is what sits underneath: insecurity, grief, appetite with nowhere else to go, and the things families decline to say out loud. Daniel Sánchez Arévalo shot it in phases because the actors genuinely gained and lost, with Antonio de la Torre putting on close to thirty kilos for his part. Raúl Arévalo won a Goya for his supporting performance. It is about bodies without using them as an excuse.
