Doña Herlinda, una viuda adinerada y fantásticamente manipuladora que vive en Guadalajara, acepta en silencio el affaire de su hijo Rodolfo con Ramón, un atractivo joven estudiante de música. Cuando Doña Herlinda invita a Ramón a vivir en su casa (Rodolfo tiene una cama tan grande”, le dice ella) la situación se complica increíblemente con el matrimonio de conviniencia de Rodolfo con Olga, una joven feminista y empleada de Amnistía Internacional.
Dona Herlinda, a wealthy and fantastically manipulative widow who lives in Guadalajara, accepts in silence the affair between her son Rodolfo and Ramon, an attractive young music student. When Dona Herlinda invites Ramon to live with them saying that Rodolfo has a bed so big, the situation is incredibly convenient for Rodolfo to marry Olga, a young feminist and employee of Amnesty International.
Quite honestly, I like the theme of this very imaginative feel-good film but some parts are rather slow and unimportant, i.e., promoting tourism and culture of Guadalajara, Mexico, that at some point I felt like I'm watching a travelogue or something. But setting that flaw aside, it does really make one feel good when one's Mom is there pampering her son regardless of his sexuality. What's more wonderful is how she treats her "son-in-law" -- she seems to care for him next to her dead husband. A good weekend watch for everyone!
