Synopsis:

Three years have passed and the boys seem to have matured. Javier (Ernesto Alterio) is going to marry Marta (Verónica Sánchez) and Pedro (Guillermo Toledo) is very much in love with his new girlfriend Raquel (Lucía Jiménez). Rafa (Alberto San Juan) has also found happiness with Pilar (María Esteve), who loves him too and treats him in a very particular way. It can seem that everything is perfect in their lives. But what do the girls think? Marta and Raquel have different plans that will put their relationship with their boyfriends in danger. Even Pilar has got a lover and is being unfaithful to Rafa. But that's not all: a new woman, Carlota (Pilar Castro), appears in Javier and Pedro's lives.

Spanish writer-director Emilio Martínez Lazáro's bawdy musical comedy romance Both Sides of the Bed (Los Dos Lados de la Cama, 2006) constitutes a sequel to that director's earlier musical The Other Side of the Bed (AKA El Otro Lado de la Cama, 2002). Just as that first film plays out the farcical romantic shenanigans of a group of single young men and their lovers, the sequel offers more of the same, but adds greater depth to the proceedings. The story finds Javier (Ernesto Alterio) and Marta (Veronica) celebrating their pending nuptials in a nightclub, on the evening before their wedding. They are accompanied by two friends romantically involved with one another, Pedro (Guillermo Toledo) and the chanteuse Raquel (Lucia Jimenez). The plans of each couple are soon undone by Marta's hesitation - the product of her undeclared lesbianism and carnal involvement with Raquel (evident when the women quietly slip off to the ladies' room and have intercourse). A third friend, Carlota (Pilar Castro), happens to stumble onto the women making it, but says nothing to the boys. The next morning, Marta jilts Javier, Raquel leaves Pedro, and the remainder of the film has the men gradually coming face-to-face with the girls' lesbianism, while forging a deeper bond with Carlota. Throughout the film, Lazáro laces his picture with bubble-gum music (predominantly breezy 1970s and 1980s Spanish pop hits) and electric choreography, performed by an ensemble of twenty dancers. In lieu of employing musical asides, the director integrates the musical numbers into individual scenes.

It has been during the last three years that the successful characters from The Two Sides of the Bed have grown up and seem more mature, but their stories could not finish just now. This is why the genius David Serrano decided to return to their lives and create an almost perfect script that Emilio Martinez Lázaro adapted for the big screen. The result was The Two Sides of the Bed , a musical that kept the best aspects of its first part The Other Side of the Bed, to take off towards the Eden of musical comedy with a sequel that will make an impression on the audience.
