Since Cristina's birth, he feels he has lost the privileged position of "prince" of the house for his eight months old sister. So, with his brother Juan, who is eight years old and is quite disobedient, spend their time committing prank after prank, causing the resulting anger of his mother, the nanny and the old housemaid. The rest of the family members are two much older brothers, his resigned mother and a retrograde father of authoritarian ideas.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its comedy on the sharp contrast between the innocent anarchy of childhood mischief and the absurd seriousness of adult authoritarianism. It explores family dynamics through a child's perspective, where parental dogma becomes the background noise of a war nobody declared.
What lingers after viewing is a warm yet sharp satire on patriarchal structures, where the main battle takes place not at the front, but in the living room. The film leaves a bittersweet aftertaste of nostalgia for battles fought and forgotten. — MovieFinder Editorial
