Días de Navidad

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

Lovely miniseries, the actresses are all great, starting from those who perform the sisters in childhood, passing through those that interpret them in the adulthood, to reach the apotheosis in their senior age. Angela Molina, Veronica Forquè, Charo Lopez, Victoria Abril and, last but not least, Suzi Sanchez in a secundary but very important role. Not to forget Alicia Borrachero as their mother, the only actress performing in two out of three episodes, getting older with make-up and talented interpretation. I recommend to watch this miniseries, for the script, the interpretation of all actresses and for the director's ability.

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.

A really good show for a prechristmas sunday evening with a tea and some speculatius. Good mix of drama, great acting and an arthousy cinematography!

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.
