Yo no moriré de amor

'Yo no moriré de amor' is a Spanish drama written and directed by Marta Matute. The film premieres at the Málaga Festival 2026, where it wins the Biznaga de Oro, before its theatrical release on May 8, 2026, in collaboration with Elastica Films. It stars debutante Júlia Mascort, who also won the silver biznaga for best actress.

It is a film with autobiographical elements, telling the story of the director's own youth. The protagonist is Claudia, an 18-year-old girl who lives a relatively normal life within a family that, like all families, has its ups and downs. Everything changes when her mother is diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

As the disease progresses and the woman begins to require constant care, Claudia struggles between the need to take on responsibilities for which she is unprepared or continue living the life appropriate for her age: going out, falling in love, and making mistakes like other girls her age. A rapid maturation process of how the disease completely disrupts family dynamics and changes the roles of all its members.

An emotional story filmed in Madrid where, in addition to Mascort as Claudia, the cast includes Sonia Almarcha as Julia, Laura Weissmahr as Inés, Tomás del Estal as Manuel, and Guillermo Benet as Gabriel.
