The Spanish film hidden on Netflix, starring Marisa Paredes and an actor from 'The Promise': it lasts less than an hour and a half.

A lighthearted Spanish comedy featuring top-notch actresses and popular faces from the most-watched series has become one of the most rediscovered titles in Netflix 's catalog. At just 78 minutes long , this ensemble film offers a fun and emotional take on family ties and secrets from the past.

Although many may remember Blanca Suárez for her roles in television dramas, in this 2019 original production she demonstrates her expertise in the comedy genre alongside Macarena García, Amaia Salamanca, and Belén Cuesta . The four play sisters marked by personal differences, who are forced to reunite in Madrid after the death of their mother.

That reunion will trigger an unexpected quest: to discover who her father really was. Beyond its main female cast, the film boasts a star-studded supporting cast. Names like Rossy de Palma , Maxi Iglesias, Carlos Bardem, Emilio Gutiérrez Caba, Juan Diego, and Joaquín Climent (Rómulo in The Promise ) enrich a story that also features Marisa Paredes as the deceased mother.

This balance of veteran talent and young talent creates an emotional comedy with a brisk pace and twists that keep you interested until the very end. Those looking for a short film on Netflix starring great Spanish actors and with a touch of family humor will find A pesar de todo a perfect choice.

Directed by Gabriela Tagliavini and produced by Bambú Producciones, the team behind La Promesa , it is one of those hidden gems on streaming that is worth rescuing, and that can serve as entertainment in a brief moment of leisure in everyday life.
