Lord, Give Me Patience

After the sudden death of his wife, Gregorio - a grumpy conservative Real Madrid fanatic - has to carry out her final wish: to spend a weekend with his children and their partners in Sanlúcar de Barrameda and throw her ashes into the Guadalquivir river.

Gregorio's daughter Sandra is married to Jordi, a Catalan and diehard Barcelona supporter, who wants to send Gregorio's future granddaughter to a bilingual Catalan-English school in Barcelona.

They are joined by Gregorio's other daughter, Alicia, who is going out with an anarchic hippy named Leo, and his son Carlos, to whom he has not spoken since Carlos announced he was homosexual six months ago. Carlos arrives with his boyfriend Eneko, a Basque of Senegalese origin, far from the ideal partner Gregorio would have envisioned for his son.

This trip to the south of Spain puts this dysfunctional family's capacity for forgiveness to the test, and sees them forced to accept each other, warts and all.

The film was a commercial success in Spain, being the second most watched film of the first half of 2017.[3]

However, it received mixed-to-poor reviews from critics.[4] Jordi Costa, writing for El País, complained of the film's lack of comic timing, and added, "The figure of a policeman, who bellows 'Gibraltar is Spanish!' reflects the type of viewer for this kind of product." ABC gave the film two stars out of five, criticising the "vulgar metaphor" of using various characters to reflect "Spain today", but notes that such films often have more commercial than critical success.
