The House of Flowers: The Movie

The De La Mora siblings want to get back into the old family house. It is not theirs any more; it was sold and has new owners. But something was left there: a treasure hidden inside a wall, and they have to retrieve it. The three make a plan. They will get in, open the wall and leave unseen. No stage of it works. There is a party at the house, the new owners are home, and the accounts among the siblings are not settled either. That same night something about their mother's past comes out. Manolo Caro directs. Cecilia Suárez, Aislinn Derbez, Darío Yazbek Bernal and Juan Pablo Medina are in the cast. It is a Mexican production. The film continues the series of the same name; the series ran three seasons and this closes the story. Its form is heist comedy; the series was family melodrama and the film changes genre. The character Cecilia Suárez plays was widely discussed during the series; her way of speaking became known in itself. The narrative also shows the mother's youth through flashback. The film reached a wide audience in Mexico and served as a close for followers of the series. The narrative tries to gather all the strands from the series and there are many characters. Its limit is independence; for anyone who does not know the series the relations and references are entirely closed. Who it is for: followers of the series and viewers who like Mexican comedy. Who it is not for: it is not an entry point, the plot is strained, and the humour depends on knowing the series.
