Ángel Rello

Recounts the experiences of a middle-class family, the Alcántaras, during the last years of the rule of Francisco Franco and the beginning of the Spanish Transition to democracy.

A caustic satire of many of the 'types' found in Spanish society.

Jesus returns to Spain after a long exile in Argentina. The family he meets is very different from the one he left: they live under the sadness of being the losers of the war, Marcela, before a beautiful young woman, is now an alcoholic, and the youngest can not even understand them. Jesus wants to start a new life in Spain but he feels out of place; Time has turned him into an inhabitant of the other side of the 'puddle'.
