During the Spanish Civil War, a movie troupe goes from Spain to Berlin for a joint production with UFA. Besides the jealousies and sexual escapades of any movie set, culture and politics add to the tensions: they use Jewish and Gypsy prisoners as extras to give an Andalucian look, the director is sleeping with his ingénue with no intention of leaving his wife, and the ingénue cooperates with this Nazi project in hopes of freeing her father from one of Franco's jails. When Goebbels himself plies her with favors, the director and the rest of the crew encourage her to sleep with him for the good of the production. Does she have any options? Will anyone act unselfishly?

| User ReviewJohnny HExcellent film which places a completely different spin on things going on in Germany during WWII... Not to mention swooning over Srta. Cruz... |
| User ReviewLaura VWonderful farce/drama about a troupe of spanish filmmakers trying to make a movie in Hitler's Berlin. |
| User ReviewPrashanth RGreat movie! The way it mixed historical drama with romance and comedy and just about everything was great. |
| User ReviewPrivate UI love Spanish comedies, I miss them so much since I left Spain |
| User ReviewLeonardo - Malacay - SPenelope esta estupenda al igual que la dirección de arte la historia es un tanto pintoresca dentro de todo lo posible nunca había visto una producción así |
| User ReviewDavide PFun and offbeat film. Doesn't know if it wants to be a comedy or drama and shifts between both genres throughout. Gets increasingly offbeat and rushed near the end, but is still worth watching. Strong performances from all involved and a great soundtrack. |
| User ReviewFrancesco JExcelente comedia, muy inteligente, muy oscura, muy sarcástica y muy directa. Actuaciones muy buenas y un guión delirante. Una pelÃcula sitauada en la segunda guerra mundial en plena à (C)poca nazi, un grupo actoral prefirió viajar a la Alemania nazi que quedarse en la guerra civil española. El resultado fue casi caótico y es que las mentalidades son muy diferentes y asà se ve. Penà (C)lope siempre hace el mismo papel, pero definitivamente este es uno de sus mejores papeles y justamente el guión la señala a ella como la protagonista de un rol que ella posee muy bien. Una muy buena pelÃcula si quieres reir un rato y pasar un muy buen rato. |
| User ReviewMarielos GNo es "Belle Epoque", pero se le acerca bastante. Aunque no hay batallas, se la recomiendo a los que les interese la historia de la Segunda Guerra. |
| User ReviewMillo TPenélope Cruz makes a very good play; away for that, very funny script, and impacing end. Good comedy but with really serious moments. |
| User ReviewRohit Kmuy buena pelicula, me ha gustado mucho :) triste y graciosa a la vez |
