Synopsis
A couple decide to watch the same movie thirty times. They pick Tom Hanks’ 1980s blockbuster Big. Over the course of their multiple film sessions at their home on the outskirts of Madrid, they are joined by family and friends, who are more than willing to share their opinions on camera. The result is Big Big Big, a metacinematic essay on the effects of overexposure to the same cultural product, as well as a group portrait that reveals people’s individual experience of what they see on screen.
