Adrian meets Carla in a bar but when he finds out she resides at a psychiatric hospital he pretends to be a patient to be with her. This story reminds us that we can't just love mental illness away. A heartfelt look at people who live behind the gates where they can be themselves when living in the so-called "normal" world is impossible. You'll be laughing through tears in this excellent Spanish romantic comedy.

This is my first ever review of a romantic movie. I have watched tons of movies so this makes me qualified to write a review about a master art romantic movie. This movie is very genuine and the acting done by all actors is just amazing specially the lead female actress and lead male actor. Its a tear of joy and the same time of grief the problems these people face the agony of not being normal the feeling to return to normal world and be normal people and the love between audri and carla its so authentic. Please watch this movie it should be selected for an oscar.

A new Spanish romcom on Netflix. A journalist, Adri, spent a crazy night with Carla, a random girl he met at the bar. Falling in love, he tried to get into the psychiatric home to meet her.

What I loved about the movie was the interaction between Adri and the people he spent in the psychiatric home. The scenes were really sweet, especially the one where he tried to hook up a girl with Tourette's with her crush. This was also where most of the comedy was used. Most of them landed and either made me chuckled or straight up laughing.

Not only the movie was funny, it also had some unexpectedly emotional scenes, especially the one with Adri's roommate in the home. The roommate was an old man with paranoia, and his story was quite sad, but at the end it was heartwarming.

For the romance, the two actors for Adri and Carla had good chemistry, although I wanted a bit more scenes with them together to strengthen the relationship further. Because of this, I wasn't too convinced about how their scene at the end.

The unique element of the movie was combining romcom with mental illness. I felt that the movie did a decent job bringing awareness to certain conditions as well as mental illness as a whole.

The problem with the movie, in addition to the romance, was that it's still a cheesy romcom throughout, and there wasn't any surprises. However, this might not be a problem to many, like me.

Overall, a funny and quite emotional romance with a unique premise. 8/10

A pleasant comedy that conveys a beautiful and profound message. The message refers to people who suffer from mental disorders, people who need our love and understanding in order to be able to accept themselves. If the dialogues had been a little more fun, I would have given it a grade of 10.

Sure, it's no Saving Private Ryan or One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest but it isn't trying to be.

What it is is a solid romcom that does an effective job of exploring mental health issues and the difficulties of relationships involving people suffering from them. As others have said, you either get it or you don't. Anyone who has struggled with their mental health or has close family or friends who do will 100% "get it"
