Synopsis:

Fernando Fernán-Gómez was born on 28th August 1921 in Lima (Peru) while his mother, the actress Carola Fernán-Gómez, was on tour with the theatre company María Guerrero-Fernando Díaz de Mendoza. Anyone can appreciate his decisive contributions as a film actor, writer and director. But only a few are lucky enough to discover the extent to which Fernando, sitting on a chair, is capable of making a chat into something more than a chat. This film aspires to make these lucky few somewhat greater in number..

This film is the blending of three exceptionally gifted individuals, David Trueba, Luis Alegre and, obviously, Fernado Fernán Gómez. Probably, the best movie in this genre ever made in Europe. You may think that a film with one character speaking sitting in a chair could be a little bit unexciting but it's just the opposite. Sharing this conversation with Fernando Fernán Gómez could be one of the most tasty and pleasant cinematographic moments one could have...
