For those of us who love our veteran actors, there is nothing to do but applaud them in this comedy of the moment. “If it is a cow, it is a cow; and if it is a car, it is a car,” said Mayra Gómez Kemp to the contestants who took Ruperta at the end of the ‘Un, dos, tres’ auction in the eighties. In the same way, these giants, Miss Adriana Ozores and Mr. Luis Bermejo, had to accept this challenge with professionalism to save an adventure that would have been on the verge of ridiculousness if it were not for their expertise. Attention, this is a ‘Thelma and Louise’ in Spanish style, in the period when transsexuality is normalized. A mature couple (with elderly grandchildren), both professional comedians (a gas station robber by profession!), live a tender moment when he confesses to his lover that he feels like a woman and that he is going to start a new relationship with sexual transition.
The multitude of supporting actresses (Adelfa Calvo, Teresa Lozano and Carmen Balagué are magnificent) moved me in the middle of an empty room one afternoon when I could not stand the heat of the street. When Los Javis releases the new version of ‘Mi Querida Señorita’ (Jaime de Armiñán), they will be in all the media, they will be on all the sets and they will visit the most ostentatious festivals.
Sonia Escolano and Belén López Albert have modestly directed an honest film that makes us draw conscious smiles.
