      Teodoro: Father. Are you asleep, father?

      Jimmy: Eh?

      Teodoro: Are you asleep?

      Jimmy: No, son, 'course not, 'course not.

      Teodoro: I remember mother, father.

      Jimmy: But, don't you like the motorbike I bought you?

      Teodoro: Yes, the bike is great, but that's a completely different thing. Don't you remember what I told you in the letters? I told you, "I'm eager to see you both when I get back". You both, I told you, mother and you. And then I come back and, you've killed her. Why did you kill her?

      Jimmy: Because she was very bad.

      Teodoro: But, father...

      Jimmy: It's hard to tell this a son, but your mother was very bad. I've waited for you to be raised, and for you to have a good job. But now you have that post at Oklahoma, why do you want a mother?

      Teodoro: I don't know, but as I'm beginning a sabbatical year with nothing to do...

      Jimmy: But you're riding a bike because of that. A bike with a sidecar, so you can see the world. Because, you see, all the fucking day there in Oklahoma.

    A film that deserves the adjective of unique
    "Unique" is an adjective that is too often employed to describe many things. In most cases, that is undeserved, but not in the case of Amanece, que no es poco. A tribute/parody of 60s Spanish comedy films, Amanece remains a truly peerless and funny movie experience.

    Amanece, que no es poco subverts many tropes common in comedies from Francoist Spain in a very surrealistic and amusing way. Structured in vignettes, the film shows the peculiar lives of the inhabitants of a fictitious town in rural Spain. The people shown are involved in situations that are hilarious because no attempt whatsoever is made to give them a realistic feel.

    The film is very recommendable to anyone who knows well enough Spanish culture. The only problem with this film is perhaps what I just mentioned, for someone not very familiar with Spanish culture, this may come off as a very bizarre and probably unfunny film.
