Lots of Kids, a Monkey and a Castle
Julita's three greatest wishes were expressed shortly after her marriage: a large family, a monkey, and her own castle. All of these wishes have most likely come true thanks to the tenacity of this charismatic and equally amusing matriarch with a penchant for collecting bizarre objects. When the family's financial situation forces them to sell their castle, her adult children are left sorting through a lifetime of oddities in search of a few lost bones... Gustavo Salmerón, a Spanish actor and neodirector, creates a delightfully absurd family portrait that also reveals a lot about Spain, Catholicism, and the economic crisis.
