The best thing of the movie is the basics of the plot: a lonely man hires a group of actors who will "play" his family on his 55th. birthday. That allows Fernando Leon to show some topics of the familiar conversations: sometimes we can feel that those pretended memories or feelings in the family are too similar to the real ones we live in our own families. Those are the best moments of the movie.
Unfortunately, I think that the development of the idea is rather poor. The problem is, in my opinion, the lack of credibility of the movie. I can't believe the human beings behind the actors (while they are not with the protagonist). It "smells" so much to script, to a writer trying to build situations that "make us think, mmmmmmm"!. I suppose it's Leon's style, but I am not fond of it. And actors (except a brilliant -in this role- Juan Luis Galiardo) don't help with their poor acting.
