In films, The Laws of Thermodynamics (film), or "Las leyes de la termodinámica", is a 2018 Spanish-language, English subtitled, film by Mateo Gil, set in Barcelona, wherein the narrator attempts to explain human romantic relationships in terms of chemistry, e.g. atoms, physics, e.g. electromagnetic force fields, space-time continuum, and thermodynamics, e.g. entropy and energy, via diagrams and replays, with references to C.P. Snow, e.g. two cultures, and Ernest Rutherford.

Overview
In Mar 2018, the film debuted at the Miami Film Festival.

On 10 Aug 2018, the film is slated to stream on Netflix.

Quotes
The following are related quotes:

“Gil stages copious romantic-comedy tropes with added commentary, diagrams and action replays to prove that what we think of as human behavioral cliché is in fact dictated by physical relations between different forms of energy.”
— Guy Lodge (2018), “Miami Film Review: ‘The Laws of Thermodynamics’”, Mar 18 [1]
