With unexpected encounters, ridiculous moments or absurd decisions, looking at five stories to understand the inability to govern people's own emotions.

Cesc Gay demonstrates ability to control the pace of the comedy and handle confusing situations, but the problem is that, after the first two stories, the plots unravel without reaching a clear conclusion. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 6/10

Cesc Gay thinly threads five shorts and tries to keep the house of cards from falling down. At first, he succeeds, but towards the end, it's impossible to sustain the artifice. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 2.5/5

With the invaluable help of his inseparable screenwriter Tomás Aragay, the duo [director] travels diverse arenas in comedy: from vaudeville to a Lubitsch-esque flair through unsubtle humor. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 4/5

El Pais (Spain)

In spite of its misfires, the film exemplifies the levity that characterizes good comedies; the character's emotional and sexual life is precipitated by embarrassing moments that define us far better than heroic ones. [Full review in Spanish]

In a world awash with superhero movies it's refreshing to have a gem of a film that draws so much humour from human foibles and imperfections. If I had to pick the first story is the funniest, with the two characters who communicate hidden romantic feelings for each other through their pooches! Priceless :)

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
