Synopsis
Historias lamentables (2021) is a Spanish comedy from director Javier Fesser, ready to watch online on iFILM. Built as an anthology of four separate tales, it lines up a handful of ordinary people whom fate seems determined to trip up at every turn.
A gift for Don Horacio goes spectacularly wrong. Bermejo just wants to reach the beach. Tina and a young immigrant named Ayoub quietly rewrite each other's lives. And a firm that crafts professional excuses for any occasion takes on the one client who will test its trade to the limit. The four threads share a dry, faintly absurdist sense of humor.
Fesser has a knack for finding the funny side of awkward, sad situations without mocking the people stuck in them. This is black comedy the Spanish way: as bitter as it is amusing. It suits viewers who enjoy the absurd and don't mind laughing at small human failures. Stream Historias lamentables (2021) online on iFILM.
