About This Movie

El fontanero, su mujer... y otras cosas de meter is a Spanish comedy that brings a mix of farce and social commentary. Carlos Aured’s direction gives us a playful, if not slightly risqué, exploration of fidelity and desire. The film starts with our plumber hero, a guy with strong morals, who turns down advances from clients—only to be hit with a heavy dose of irony when he discovers his wife in a compromising situation. The pacing has a nice rhythm, balancing humor with those more poignant moments of betrayal. The performances are a bit over-the-top, in that charming way typical of the genre, making it distinctive among Spanish comedies of its time. You get that 80s vibe—both in style and sensibility—that adds to its charm. There's a certain rawness to the practical effects and situations that feels very authentic too.
