Carpoolers is a drama-comedy film directed by Rafael Epstein. The film follows four individuals with different backgrounds who meet through a rideshare app in Madrid's city centre. At first, they are reluctant to share their personal lives with each other, but as they embark on a journey that takes longer than expected, they begin to open up and reveal their innermost feelings and secrets.
The four travellers include unconventional artist Álex, conservative businesswoman Sofia, troubled teenager Dani and retired schoolteacher Luis. Each of them has a different reason for taking the carpool, but they all have one thing in common - they are all looking for something missing in their lives.
As the carpoolers journey together, they face various challenges, including car trouble, unexpected detours, and arguments. These situations help them learn more about each other and themselves. They find themselves bonding over shared experiences and eventually develop a genuine friendship.
As they approach their destination, the four travellers are shocked to discover that they are not going where they thought they were. They are forced to make some tough choices about their future and whether they are willing to take a chance on the unknown.
Carpoolers is a heartwarming, thought-provoking film that explores themes of friendship, identity, and self-discovery. The film boasts a talented cast, including Natalia de Molina, Raúl Arévalo, Inma Cuesta, and Álvaro Cervantes. It is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys character-driven dramas with a touch of humor.
