The story
Regina, our young protagonist, always dreamed of getting married. And she did it - but the dream lasted much less than she thought and now she has to face life in a very funny way as a divorcee.
What it’s like
Light, brisk comedy with a warm, slightly scrappy energy, the kind of Spanish-language Mexican film that plays well on a relaxed evening with friends. The premise, a young woman whose wedding dream collapses fast, sets up a tone of wry self-deprecation rather than heartbreak, and the mood stays buoyant and cheeky throughout. Expect quick scene turns, comic set-ups and reactions, and a steady pace that favours humour over melodrama, with the emotional beats kept light enough to laugh through. The story's arc follows a headstrong woman rebuilding her sense of self after a rough start, with friendships and family pulling her forward more than any grand romantic gesture. The intensity is mild: comedy about heartbreak and dating, with no violence or graphic content suggested. It suits a lazy weekend, a comfort watch, or a night when you want something funny and forgiving. It is for viewers who enjoy Latin American romantic comedy, sharp-tongued heroines, and stories about starting over with a grin.
