Las verdes praderas (English: The Green Meadows) is a 1979 Spanish film written and directed by José Luis Garci, starring Alfredo Landa.

The film is a reflection of the years of prosperity lived in Spain during the dictatorship of Francisco Franco.

José Rebolledo is a man of humble origins who has a good job at an advertising company and sincerely loves his wife, Conchi.

Without financial problems they can afford some quirks and have acquired a chalet in the Sierra de Madrid where they spend weekends in the company of family and upper class friends, playing sports and having barbecues.

However, for José, within this apparent happiness lies a deep sense of frustration with the lifestyle he has chosen.
