As Spanish comedies go, this entry directed by Daniela Fejerman and Ines Paris, elicit only a few laughs. To be fair to these directors, everything coming from Spain suffer unfairly when compared with anything by the master of comedy from that country: Pedro Almodovar.
This film presents a situation that is a bit unusual, Sofia, the divorced mother of three young women has fallen in love with another woman. Horror of horrors, how could mother do that to the girls? Well, the daughters seem to forget their mother has been on her own for a while, and being of a certain age, she doesn't get a lot of men calling on her, or maybe she always was a lesbian trying to lead a so-called "normal" life in Spain.
Sofia's daughters are an egotistical lot. They all have a life of their own, yet, they decide, upon hearing from their mother's lips the truth of the situation, to get rid of her mother's interest. Eliska, the young lover, is put through the ringer because the daughters want to separate them in the worst way.
Leonor Watling's Elvira, is perhaps the best of the daughters. Rosa Maria Sarda, looks like a mother, not like a woman that has suddenly turned lesbian, at all. The rest of the players are adequate.
