Maria Ripoll made her feature directorial debut with this witty Spanish-British romantic comedy, set in London, where actor Victor (Scottish actor
Douglas Henshall) is drunk and upset over former girlfriend Sylvia (
Leana Headley) and her upcoming marriage in 48 hours to Dave (
Mark Strong). In the rain, the wet and drunk Victor meets two Spanish sanitary workers, Don Miguel (
Eusebio Lazaro) and Rafael (
Gustavo Salmeron), and their Spanish poetry quotes cue special effects and time travel. Tossed back in time, Victor is now able to begin a relationship replay with Sylvia, so he immediately begins an effort to keep her from meeting Dave. The situation gets sticky, however, when he drops into a local pub and meets gorgeous barmaid Louise (Spanish actress
Penelope Cruz). London locations show activities during the Notting Hill carnival. Shown at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival.
