Cándida

Directed by Guillermo Fesser

Fesser and his co-writer brother Javier have already received critical acclaim for penning LA GRAN AVENTURA DE MORTADELO Y FILEMÓN (2003) and EL MILAGRO DE P. TINTO (1998), and now their quirky brand of comedy continues with Guillermo’s directorial début. Cándida (Villar) is a lowly Madrid housemaid, well beyond the age of retirement, continuing to take care of the insensitive employers who are generally oblivious to the daily trials of her personal life. Her constant malapropisms and down to earth determination allow a rather tragic life to be cast in a comic light; and as she inspires hope in others, her own dreams start to become a reality.
