Tasty Spanish Omelette.
The Butterfly effect of the title refers to the small random happenstances of life, and the sometimes large (sometimes comic) effects that they can have.
The small event; Luis is attracted to his aunt. The effect; for those around him, the conventions associated with relationships dissolve, leading to increasing chaos.
This is a low budget movie with much of the emphasis on dialogue, rather than effects or exotic locations. As can be seen by its surprise setting in the grimy surrounds of a London council housing estate (Kennington Park Estate).
The acting is of a high standard. With an interesting juxtaposition between the easy going style of the Spanish actors and the more rigid English style. The female leads, María Barranco and Rosa Maria Sardà are particularly good.
All in all, a gentle romp with pleasant characters.
