Synopsis

Brothers-in-law, Eduardo and Sabonis, married to sisters Cuca and Peque Ribeiro, have made a real mess of one of their business ventures and are in need of money, a lot of money. It will be Sabonis who, in one of his uncontrollable fits of rage, comes up with a plan to fix all their problems in one go: kidnap Modesto, brother-in-law to Alicia Zamora, the businesswoman who screwed them over.

There’s just one problem: Alicia has no intention of paying even a penny to get her brother-in-law back. In the end, it will be Modesto himself who comes up with a new plan to help Eduardo and Sabonis get the money they need to save the family wine business. What they don’t know is that police officer Mati, the Ribeiro’s middle sister, is on to their little plan. Eduardo, Sabonis and Modesto have everything to lose, but as Sabonis would say, what could go wrong?

Critics reviews

"Fantastic [...] An enviable show of collective strength, in which every single character shines [...] you could even say it's reminiscent of the British Ealing comedies [...] Wonderful!" EL PAIS

"A hilarious comedy [...] it flows so naturally, that you'll find yourself grinning throughout and occasionally bursting out laughing. The result is a fantastically entertaining romp.” EL MUNDO

"This riotous comedy knows exactly how to deal with the stereotypes of a society, that of northern Spain: wonderfully tribal and distinctively matriarchal.” LA RAZON

"One of the funniest family comedies of the season. [...] Much more than just gags.” CINEMANIA
