13. What have I done to deserve this? (¿Qué he hecho yo para merecer esto!!)
A movie of firsts and lasts. First true protagonist for Carmen Maura, first appearance of Verónica Forqué (both in the picture, the latter with a man on top of her). It is also the last movie by Pedro to include paranormal activities (that telekinetic child and her mother are priceless). A great portrayal of the Spanish urban working classes and a great anti-melodrama. I mean, in melodrama, small things can be the hardest of all but in this film everything is approached from distance and humor. A mother leaves her child with a pedophiliac dentist, an aspiring star is working as a prostitute, a lonely old lady loses "Money"... Terrible dramas taken lightly.
