Mama Turns 100

[1][2] In celebration of Mama's 100th birthday, a Spanish extended family gathers at their ancestral country estate.

Beneath the veneer of cordiality and politeness, bitter realities simmer, as significant changes have occurred within the family: José died three years prior, Juan has parted ways with his wife Luchi, and only Fernando, an enthusiast of kite-flying, remains with his elderly mother.

As an observer, Ana discerns that this family has disintegrated into its individual fragments, with the forsaken Luchi having misappropriated the funds of the plump and scarcely mobile matriarch.

And Ana, the onlooker and former governess, will soon find herself among the mourners, as her husband Antonio embarks on a dalliance with Natalia, another member of the family.

Carlos Aguilar remarked that this film revisits the character dynamics of Ana and the Wolves, albeit with a chosen "tragicomic perspective.
