Patrimonio nacional

In this witty and satirical comedy, Luis García Berlanga skewers Spain's aristocracy after General Franco's death, poking fun at a family's ridiculous attempts to regain their lost social status. The Marquis of Leguineche, a self-absorbed patriarch, orchestrates a series of absurd schemes to reclaim his palace and high society, including faking an incurable mental illness and modernizing the estate for elite gatherings. With its clever cast and sharp commentary on class and identity, National Heritage is a hilarious send-up of Spain's wealthy elite.
