This is a Spanish comedy film released in 1992, directed by José Sacristán, which it was his last film as director of the three he directed, and starring Concha Velasco and José Sacristán himself in the main roles. Dealing with a surprising meeting between José Sacristán and Concha Velasco evoking numerous common memories in both of them by means of various flashbacks . It is very difficult to endure the entire film due to absurdity of its content. The script is weak but the plot and the dialogues are completely amorphous and lack any hint of interest. The theatrical piece -plot and script by A. Marsillach- are correct but its comic or social criticism claim lacks originality and also the necessary spark to awaken a smile. The sense of humor is somewhat flawed, not very subtle, sometimes pretentious and full of clichés and common places. So the efforts of José Sacristán -also the film's director- and Concha Velasco are barely capable of developing the story in an attractive way.
