Trois Noëls

Large, well built, secluded and surrounded by beautiful snow capped mountains - this is the family home where four sisters joined by a childhood secret, celebrate Christmas at three distinct phases of their lives i.e. during their - teens as daughters, adulthood as mothers and elderly age as grandmothers.

It's a well made classic series, showing the conservative and anticipatory atmosphere post World War II. Interpersonal relationship and antics of the kid sisters is a gleeful watch.

Big fan of spanish cinema, love it's originality. Feel the love, pain all the emotions going on . Truly recommend this serie to all the spanish movie & tv series fans

I began to watch the series attracted by its great cast of actresses, which a priori caught attention. But as it progressed everything became a real nonsense: the story is unlikely and forced, the script sometimes you do not know if it is a joke or not (OMG with some dialogues), and the performances are at a level of school theater played on Christmas event. And with some over acting that makes you wonder why you waste your time watching this. The only one thing that saves the series to burn it at the stake is the performance of veteran actresses. In short, totally expendable.

Episode one has a good tight script, fast-paced, attractive cast. Excellent drama.

Episode two - the character Esther doesn't ring true to the one in Episode one (now an adult) - overdressed, over made-up and poor acting. Valentina is excellent, as is Adela. The father is brilliant.

Episode three - it all begins to fall apart. The script and plot is good but the actors are dreadful. Valentina, now much aged, looks more like Esther from Episode two. But what has happened to the beautiful sultry Esther from episode two? She looks completely different: fat, bloated and sedate. Plot could have been superb and deeply moving but the actors are dire. Especially Adela.

Definitely the Spanish film industry must be very grateful to Franco, more than half century and they continue to take advantage of the same plot, over and over, it is already very boring, creativity, zero.
