Trivia
Miguel Ángel Muñoz said the first kiss he gave on the mouth at the age of ten was not to a girl but it was to a woman, actress María Barranco in a scene of this film. "The difficult thing was not so much making a film at ten years old, but talking about sexuality to a ten-year-old, which is what this film was about. There was a moment when I had to touch María Barranco's breasts in a scene and I thought it was something very strong," Muñoz recalled.

Good acting, lacking in depth

This is one of those Spanish films where the plot is just "things that happen in life", and it's hard to put your finger on one specific plot line. Is it about love? Is it about family? Is it about being a child? All of them at once. Which means, at least in my opinion, that there is no strength. It's a good enough comedy, family, romance, Spanish film. It's not outstanding in any of these categories.

Interpretations are good, all the actors fit their roles with like a glove. The only thing is, this being 2022, some viewers might faint when they see an old woman kissing a young boy in the lips, or showing him her breasts. But that's one of the allures of Spanish and French films. If you want skin, you'll see plenty of it.

This is a film that contains a collection of stories about Spanish people. It's not a big epic. It's a small, down to earth sort of coming-of-age film. Enjoyable, but probably forgettable.
