Overview
Marido, piso, hijos (niño y niña, la parejita) y una vida tranquila como ama de casa. Así podría ser la biografía de Aurora, a quien en la actualidad, ya en la gloriosa tercera edad, con los hijos emancipados, parece que solo le quede preocuparse de la llegada de los nietos y, cómo no, de que los suyos estén bien.
Pero un día la familia descubre que Aurora ha sacado setenta mil euros de su cuenta y se los ha gastado en algo que desconocen. En un gesto poco común en ella, se niega a dar respuestas a las insistentes preguntas de sus seres más queridos, quienes son incapaces de entender esa actitud en una mujer que siempre había sido transparente. O eso pensaban…
Una comedia agridulce sobre la vida, sobre la familia y sus secretos. Una historia que nos muestra ese momento en el que los hijos esperan que sus padres sean más obedientes de lo que ellos nunca fueron. Y una madre que reivindica, por fin, su derecho a hacer lo que le da la real gana.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
THE PERFECT GIFT FOR ALL MOTHERS. REQUIRED READING FOR THEIR CHILDREN.
Husband, home, children (one of each, a boy and a girl,) and the peaceful life of a homemaker. That traditional ideal could describe the life of Aurora: Now a senior citizen and with her children grown and gone, she would seem to have nothing to worry about except the well-being of her family and how soon to expect her first grandchild.
One day, however, her loved ones discover that Aurora has withdrawn seventy thousand euros from her account and spent it all, but she won’t say on what. Uncharacteristically, she refuses to answer her children’s questions. They can’t understand this attitude in a woman who has always been so transparent. Or so they thought, anyway…
A bittersweet comedy about life, family and the secrets we keep. In The Day Mom Broke a Dish, adult children expect their parents to be more obedient than they ever were. And a mother claims the right to finally do whatever her heart desires.
