Carne al horno

About This Movie

Carne al horno is this quirky blend of comedy and drama that dives into the absurdity of family dynamics. You've got Dorotea, a real control freak, setting up her mother's 70th birthday bash. Things take a dark turn with her brother's accidental death, and the family crafts this ridiculous scheme to keep their mother blissfully unaware. The pacing shifts from frantic to oddly contemplative as they juggle grief and celebration. What stands out is the film's offbeat humor and how it navigates the tension between duty and chaos. The performances are raw, and there's a certain charm in the way it captures the awkwardness of familial love and the lengths we go to protect our loved ones, even when it leads to ridiculous situations.
