In this one, the Spaniards use a very nice form to tell the life stories of various people that reflect not only the current situation in Spain, problems with unemployment and so on. Well and the thing about all that was that each of the characters was really interesting. A properly made drama that includes funny, romantic but also sad moments. Simply like life itself.

I don't dare to claim that director Arévalo described all aspects of love, nor did all sexual positions make it into the film, but what did fit into it, despite its craziness and improbable depiction of situations, is masterfully served and above all immensely likable. It is a puzzle of the destinies of several people who are searching for love and are exposed to difficult blows of fate. The main character is not only looking for a life partner but above all his place in life. In an American film, he would probably find happiness through the exertion of force and the combination of favorable circumstances, but here he gradually comes to terms with his fate, and the other characters are in a similar situation. It is a decent relationship drama that brought me joy after several mistakes in choosing films. Overall impression: 90%.

This is a funny film that combines elements of romance, drama and humour at the same time. And that's a pretty strong and good combination. It's a story from real life and it's not about catching depression while watching it, but as I said, everything is taken with a smile. All the film's parameters are great and above average - the actors, the music, the screenplay and all. The cinematography is simple, but why should there be anything extra here. In short, a feel-good movie that takes a journey to fulfill a dream with a big dose of humour.
