Aroview: Carmen Maura plays a gracefully aging widower who finds love in the twilight of her life, only for her new companion to be met with cold disapproval by her daughters.

Miniature melodrama feels a little slight and underdeveloped at times, although strikes upon enough truths to distance it from the pack of dysfunctional family gatherings on film. Directed by acclaimed playwright Yasmina Reza, from her own stageplay.
