The Fuentes family is blown up the day the youngest of the group makes a wish for her ninth birthday. The next day, the entire family's bodies have been swapped, and disorder has engulfed the family. Chaos grips the family and they wonder: Who is who?
This is an entertaining body-swap ensemble film filled with fantasy, hilarious scenes, confusion, chaos, and tons of fun. Kirá Miró (Machos Alfa, Los abrazos rotos), Elena Irureta (Patria), and Salva Reina (El 47), winner of the Goya Award for Best Supporting Actor in 2025 , star in this family comedy of entanglements directed by Martín Cuervo, based on the successful French film of the same name. The premise is simple and funny: after a magic wish, the next day, all the members of his family wake up with the body exchanged. Influenced by family films from the 1990s and 2000s, as well as recent family films by Santiago Segura, this film about a family that swaps bodies seeks to entertain and inspire reflection on empathy within the family. The main focus of the film is the observation of the complicated situation they have had to live through due to the body swap, which has led to a number of bizarre incidents, which is why they will have to strive to empathize with others and trust them until they find the solution to their big problem.
The film is acceptable and passable, although one of its weak points is that it's quite predictable. However, as a family comedy, it successfully achieves its goals. Furthermore, it doesn't make sense to expect a story that aims to entertain all audiences to have great plot twists. What we can expect are gags that make parents laugh, but also children, and it certainly achieves that.
One of the film's greatest attractions is watching the long list of supporting actors who appear here and there in brief performances, among which are the following: Gonzalo de Castro, Carlos Iglesias, Gracia Olayo, Aitor Luna, Paula Prendes, Fernando Gil and even the famous television presenter Terelu Campos.
The motion picture was professionally directed by Martin Cuervo but not with much originality since it is simply a copy of a French film of the same title. He shot his firs short film film "Ending" in 2007. The piece was nominated to the Goya Awards. He shot three more short films with famous actors and always awarded in national and international festivals. The next ten years he dedicated himself to direct ads and music videos and also to his musical career. En 2020, he wrote and directed his firs feature film "Who you travel with" (Con quién viajas. 2021), and also made ¨La Bandera¨ and ¨Todos lo hacen¨. Score: 5/10. Despite the fact that the ending is quite predictable, since it's ultimately a comedy and doesn't really break any new ground, it successfully achieves what it sets out to do: make people laugh and entertain while inviting us to reflect on the importance of communication, empathy, and understanding in family relationships.
