A Remarkable Tale

Integration is good, racism is bad, and everybody needs love. And laughs, which is something this movie provides... in moderation :)

I thought this was funny to watch. I like watching Spanish movies and shows so naturally, it was a must watch for me. What I saw was pretty good. The characters are interesting and work well off each other. It was nice to see black Spaniards. Rarely are they shown in Spanish cinema. The story's well paced, it'd funny and has a simple yet good lesson about integration.

Speaking of race, some of the things the villagers do are a little cringeworthy. From being shocked that they speak Spanish to in one instance, placing a hand on one of the guys forehead due to his color. Otherwise, this was an interesting movie.

This movie tells the story of a rural Spanish community willing to do "anything" to save it's existence from annexation- even if that means letting 4 black immigrants integrate into their town. The main character is a strong-willed and smart woman striving to out-do her estranged husband, the Mayor of a nearby region, by re-building her town and running for local office, with the help of these 4 new inhabitants. This movie is hilarious, authentic, and heartwarming. Performed in Spanish with English subtitles, this is worth a watch!

It is short in duration and its story is not a big deal, but it is entertaining and fun.

Written apparently according to Netflix's dictation, together with the depicted Spanish villagers, we learn our lesson of the day, that illegal immigrants and gays are saints and useful to western society for breeding reasons. While it is rightfully stated that baddies are baddies independently of colour (or gender I would like to add), it then ammends that they are worst if they are white. An otherwise harmless romantic comedie, became just a vessel of leftist political preach. The characters and protagonists were doing fine in a charming Spanish village background, however it could have been so much more. But no, our lesson is just that we have to absorb the illlegal immigrants by white marriages. So monodimensional it hurts even the immigrants who legal or not migrate with something more in their mind than just reproduction. They could have made something better, but no. Let's leave the complicated to a better writer. Terrible camera use at times with sunlight thrown to our faces hiding what we are meant to watch. If you can shallow all the above you might enjoy a bit. But it felt longer than it is. Which gave me a well deserved sleep. After all, a lesson stays in our mind if we learn it just before sleeep.
