This film tells us five stories that have something in common, the situations in which they occur are full of black humor and revolve around love relationships in which logic has no place, yet we recognize ourselves in some of them.
It is a good collage of unexpected moments in which the lie seems to have the direction before the impossibility of a truth that could damage the moment.
It was directed by Cesc Gay, who had previously directed films such as "Truman" and "Sentimental". He also wrote the script with Tomás Aragay and the city where the events take place is Barcelona, with a plethora of good actors who played their roles very well and gave spice to the ridiculous moments of each story.
Among them are Anna Castillo, Quim Gutiérrez, José Coronado, Maribel Verdú, Antonio de la Torre, Alexandra Jiménez, Javier Rey, Álex Brendemühl, Brays Efe and Verónica Echegui.
It is an entertaining film that fulfills the mission of hooking the viewer through the hundred minutes it lasts, the dialogues are fluid although many find them to be foul at certain times.
The production cost was around 4 million euros and the film was shot in the city where the events took place in a few months of 2021.
It premiered at the 47th Toronto International Film Festival in September 2022 and was also selected for the 'RTVE Gala' at the 70th San Sebastian International Film Festival.
The name of the stories in order of appearance is as follows "Tengo ganas de Verte" shows a neighbor who has fallen in love with her neighbor and while he is visiting her in the apartment her boyfriend arrives who was on a trip.
In "Sandra" a couple is seen by Luis, a friend who has not gotten over his partner's betrayal and is pushed to have sex with a woman who in the end has a big secret.
"Martes y Jueves" shows three friends who meet at a casting and learn that they have had an affair with the same man.
"You've made me very happy these months" a mature man maintains a relationship with a former student and meets to offer to move in together but things do not happen as he thought.

And the last one whose title is "Paris" is perhaps the most acidic since in it a man who is expecting his second child realizes that his wife has found out about an affair he had and when he confesses to her he learns something he never imagined.
The critics have been mixed and Alex Brendemüh, protagonist of the second story has won the 15th Gaudí Awards 2023 as Best Supporting Actor and Anna Castillo, protagonist of the first one was nominated but did not get it.
