The Girls at the Back

I don't often watch Spanish movies or series, even if I'm European. But I'm glad that I made an exception.

Because this was one of these rare unexpected diamonds that exploded in light and warmth and joy and humanity and emotions. It might touch the limit of sugar, but those 5 charming actors makes it edible and loveable, so you have to surrender yourself.

5 beautiful women spending some days at the see on a vacation, on a sad background, but with each other to help stepping several steps forward and cross borders that needs to be crossed.

There is some nice Spanish touch here, some the time does sometime jump back and forth in mysterious ways, the sun is always shining and colors are bright and saturated. I'm not an expert, but I think I see an inheritance from Pedro Almodóvar here.

This is most of all a series on friendships, and finding ways to move on with your life.

So now, go and watch it for yourself!
