A witty and scathing portrait of forty-something manhood, and it’s shifting role in contemporary Barcelona. Chance encounters between old friends, ex-spouses and potential lovers form an engrossing series of six exquisitely-realised vignettes. Trumpeting the truism that character is plot, each tale is full of twists and turns that sees our growing affection for each beautifully-drawn character feel as engaging and riveting as any heist thriller. This battle-of-the-sexes comedy was a sleeper breakout success at the Spanish box office, and confirms writer/director Cesc Gay as one of the country’s brightest talents.
