The Extraordinary Tale of the Times Table, or simply The Extraordinary Tale, is a 2013 English-language Spanish black comedy film with magic realism elements directed by Laura Alvea and José F. Ortuño which stars Aïda Ballmann and Ken Appledorn.

After sending hundreds of letters to strangers, lonely 'She' (with an obsessive–compulsive disorder behavioural pattern) is answered back by 'He'.

[4] Fran Fernández-Pardo handled the cinematography whereas Carlos Crespo Arnold took over film editing.

Jonathan Holland of The Hollywood Reporter underscored how, whether if loved or hated, "there's little chance that this quirky tale's black whimsy will leave anyone indifferent".

[1] Javier Ocaña of El País wondered if the "controversial, wild" and otherwise "simply immoral" ending may perhaps explain the reluctance of distributors to release the film in theatres.
