AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
Set against the breathtaking volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote, this Spanish box office hit comedy stars Paco León (Staring at Strangers, The House of Flowers) as a carefree man, living a hedonistic and self-centered life in a small coastal town in the Canary Islands.
Leo’s world is upended when Julia (Silvia Alonso, Wishlist), an old flame, arrives from Bilbao and drops off a baby only a few months old in Leo's arms, claiming she is his daughter, and leaves.
Propelled into fatherhood, he is determined to return the girl to her mother and travels to Bilbao to do so, but his attempts fail. Forced to raise her, he begins to learn how to be a father, and his values shift in unexpected ways. Years pass, filled with happiness, affection and love, until one day Julia reappears in their lives, intending to reclaim custody of her daughter.
Combining laughter and heartfelt emotion, this new adaptation of the Mexican hit from Marina Seresesky (Let the Dance Begin) is a delightful and entertaining father-daughter story.
