Acting
The Tricicle trio plays nine roles between them. Commitment.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Tricicle was already Spain's biggest comedy trio for 20 years before this film. They're basically Monty Python with more pratfalls.
The Rius brothers' nostalgia for hotel glamour mirrors Spain's 90s anxiety about modernizing its tourism industry while losing character.
