Andrea, a successful veterinarian who loves her job and is in a relationship with Lucio, an up-and-coming lawyer who grew up in the country. Lucio has some news for Andrea: his mother is turning 60 and is throwing a big party to celebrate. Andrea visits the town where Lucio was raised for the first time and would like to become very close to his family, especially her new Mother-in-law Blanca, who is an overprotective mother, ultra-conservative and always thinks she’s right about everything. Andrea tries to fit in by tolerating all her quirks and harsh treatment during the torturous weekend.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director constructs the comedy on the clash between urban independence and rural traditions, using the classic mother-in-law trope to explore modern relationships and family boundaries. The film works with its characters effectively, avoiding mere caricatures and allowing even the most eccentric Blanca to show relatable humanity.

What lingers after the credits is the warmth of its resolution and the genuine laughs mined from universally awkward family dynamics. A perfect pick-me-up that delivers exactly what it promises. — MovieFinder Editorial
