He was born in 1945 in Madrid, location in which he often shoots his films. The motion picture was well directed by Emilio Martínez Lázaro. Lively and emotive musical score by Roque Baños (Old boy, Fragiles, Machinist, Sexy beast, 800 bullets) including enjoyable central theme. Colorful photography with juicy atmosphere by Javier Salmones (Butterfly tongue, Romasanta, Los Borgia, Arte Morir, 13 Campanadas) deemed to be one of the best Spanish cameraman. Agreeable support cast gives good acting as the notorious Mirian Diaz Aroca, Jesús Bonilla, Maite Blasco, Ramón Langa, Montserrat Carulla, Alicia Hermida and Fernando Vivanco. Nice acting by Fernando Ramallo as a teenager who has his sexual wakening and hates his dad's ways in every sense he is more noble than his father. This road movie has a nostalgic feeling dealing with the seventies as when appeared the color TV, Patty Hearst is in the news robbing a bank, strikes in which in protesters are being pursued by Guardia Civil or ¨Grises¨ and Franco is dying. The journey of the protagonists is so repetitive and the most part results to be rich in absurdities and implausibilities. The flick relies heavily on the continued relationship between father and son, but it doesn't make boring but entertaining. The film moves in fits and starts most of which would be desirable, with more traps the viewer resists any kind, and some moments of enjoyment and others quite a few embarrassing. This attractive comedy contains emotion, humor, brief drama and amusement. Meanwhile, the peculiar family travels across Spain, throughout several locations until an American base. In pursuing their objectives the losers will face a lot of problems. They are joined by gorgeous Paquita (Maribel Verdú), a type of woman who shows great love for Lozano and his son Felipe. In this coming-of-age story the son begins to understand what his life is. Both of whom trying to make a living from what might be called as simple subsistence. They undertake an itinerant life, living by means of small swindles and supplies selling. As a problematic teenager called Felipe (Fernando Ramallo) accompanies his errant as well as troublemaker daddy Lozano (Antonio Resines) travelling around Spain as Madrid, Zaragoza, Girona, always being involved in dark and not very decent business. Amusing Spanish comedy in which two good actors, a veteran Antonio Resines and a fifteen-year-old teen Fernando Ramallo become involved into improbable situations. Fun Dramedy (comedy/drama) with touches of profanity and full of entertainment, humor and sheer amusement.
