Synopsis

Toni and Emilio both receive the same tragic phone call: their wives are in a coma after an avalanche at a ski resort. When they reach the admissions desk at the hospital, they make a startling discovery: their wives are, in fact, the same person... Laura. For years, Laura has been secretly leading parallel lives... and riding a crazy roller-coaster between her two families. Forced to stay together until Laura wakes up and can be moved from the hospital, Emilio and Toni find themselves embroiled in a fight to prove who is her one and only, true husband.

Critics reviews

“This isn’t just (another) one of those family comedies that fill up (and pad out) the movie theaters. (...) the director makes a decidedly aesthetic statement (...) Well-made and well-thought out.” Cinemanía

“A buddy movie about opposites [...] pushed through the sieve of the best American movies.” Fotogramas

“[The director] gives example after example of how to direct a popular comedy, without falling into cliché territory.” Diario El País
