Lots of Kids, a Monkey and a Castle
Julita declared her three greatest wishes shortly after marrying: a large family, a monkey, and her own castle. That all of these wishes have come true is likely due to the tenacity of this charming and equally amusing matriarch, who has a weakness for collecting bizarre artifacts. When financial constraints compel the family to sell their castle, her grown children are left sorting through a lifetime's oddities in search of a few misplaced bones... Gustavo Salmerón, a Spanish actor and neo-director, creates a gloriously ludicrous family picture that also reveals a lot about Spain, Catholicism, and the economic crisis.
