📖 Synopsis

A university philosophy professor arrives in a small town in La Mancha where everything is upside down: priests are Marxists, grandparents dance rock, and everyday logic crumbles with charm. Without Berlanga, José Luis Cuerda creates a surreal, tender, and deeply Spanish comedy that has gained a cult following from generation to generation. An unclassifiable film that makes you laugh and think at the same time.

✍️ Our review

9.0/10 ★★★★★

Spanish surrealism in its purest form. Cuerda built the most Spanish comedy that exists: strange, untransferable, and brilliant. Each phrase is a meme avant la lettre.
