Director: Daniela Féjerman and Inés París
Country: Spain
Subtitle: English
Despite the name, this is truly a charming, if not slightly strange, romantic comedy from Spain. Serafin (Alterio) is a doctor at a fertility clinic who falls in love with a free-spirited trapeze artists (Dolera). Through circumstance he has no choice but to use his own sperm in a procedure to fertilize Dolera. Played by Alterio's real life father, Serafin's father provide a nice counterpoint to the couple by playing a weatherman who's life has fallen into bed-ridden self-pity and depression. Likely because of its female director, this movie takes a subject that could have been done really creepy and turns it into almost a Spanish-male version of Amélie Poulain.
