A mother-daughter comedy in the Almodovar vein, this Spanish import tells the story of three sisters who must cope with the news that their concert pianist mother (Rosa Maria Sárda) has fallen in love with a woman (Eliska Serova). The neurotic fledgling writer Elvira (Leonor Watling) finds this development only exacerbates her floundering search for self-esteem, the eldest sister Gimena (Maria Pujalte) is horrified, while the youngest daughter--sexy pop singer Sol (Silvia Abascal)--is delighted, and even writes a song called "My Mother Has a Girlfriend." When the sisters realize their mother has given her lover all her money, the sisters embark on a zany plan to expose her as a gold digger by picking one of them to seduce her, each in turn suspecting they may be gay themselves. However, the source of real humor comes from a richly clever script co-written by directors Daniela Fejerman and Ines Paris. In addition, the cast is both dramatically and comedically adept. Watling is especially good, breathing complexity and warmth into a role that could easily have gone overboard into lovelorn cliché. It's a great thing when a feel-good comedy genuinely earns both its laughs and fuzzy feelings, and this one does just that.
