An actor in low hours and a young interpreter who threatens to displace the former thanks to the tricks of their agent; the owner of the high mountain hotel and her estranged sister, creator of a new and unique discipline that mixes yoga and fengshui; a group of children wanting to have fun, but also to discover hidden secrets; a taciturn bellboy who sees everything; and a tremendous storm that will leave everyone isolated just before Christmas. A weekend in which everything can happen, and in which everything will happen.

Loles León and María Barranco serving vintage Spanish comedy diva energy.

Macarena Astorga
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Loles León and María Barranco were Almodóvar regulars in the 80s/90s; this is basically their 'Golden Girls' era reunion Spain deserved.
Director Macarena Astorga made her name in TV comedy before this theatrical debut—the overstuffed plot structure makes more sense now.
