Freelance translator Nat settles in the countryside village of La Escapa, finding a hostile environment and a cruel landlord keen on sexist microagressions.

Neighbor Andreas, locally dubbed as "the German", awkwardly offers Nat free home repairs in exchange for sexual penetration.

[7] Un amor was presented in the official selection of the 71st San Sebastián International Film Festival on 26 September 2023,[10] in competition for the Golden Shell.

[11] Jonathan Holland of ScreenDaily wrote that the film is sometimes "redolent of Coixet's very best work, rippling outwards to touch upon some fundamental, and eternally gripping, human questions about what love is".

[6] Guy Lodge of Variety considered the film to be a return to form for Coixet while pointing out that it is not an "obvious crowdpleasing fare", because of its "commendably complex" gender politics and its "both frank and occasionally disturbing" study of sex as social currency.
