Plot

Set in the Epiphany Eve (5–6 January) in Barcelona, the plot explores six love vignettes, including those of a man looking for his teen crush in a Wise King suit, the doubts of two guys in the face of the perspective of a trio with a girl, a married couple in crisis after the birth of their first child, and the relationship between two old women despite family reluctance.

Release

The film opened the Most Festival on 5 November 2015. Distributed by Splendor Films, the film was released theatrically in Spain on 4 December 2015.

Reception

Javier Ocaña of El País pointed out that De la Orden composes yet another "puzzle of intertwined stories", controlling somewhat better than in the first installment the "sometimes tiresome commercial aesthetics".

Toni Vall of Cinemanía rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, assessing that the film delivers "a visually appealing hodgepodge of improbable situations, simple tunes, and little to tell", underpinning a verdict reading "predictable and dignified in the most concrete and least offensive sense".

Quim Casas of El Periódico de Catalunya gave the film a 3-star rating, writing that the "risk is minimal, the characters are diverse, and everything appears overly designed and polished".
