In this charming screwball comedy, the story starts in an unspecified point of Spain's geography named Fuentejuela de Arriba, a tiny mountain town with a huge problem: a total population of 16 aged people. Campello's, Fuentejuela de Abajo's mayor, appears to make a warning: if the population diminishes to 15 or fewer in the region's upcoming census, Fuentejuela de Arriba will be incorporated into Fuentejuela de Abajo as only one town, for desperation of their inhabitants denied to see the town as part of Fuentejuela de Abajo due to their eternal rivalry. Teresa, wife of Fuentejuela de Arriba's mayor, finds an impossible solution to the trouble: after she meets Azquil, Shukra, Latisha, and Calulu--four Africans on the run, wanted by the police who were cheated to job as exotic dancers in a close brothel, Teresa decides use them to increase the population and save the town, specially after to learn about the death of Alfonso, Manolita's husband and their only councilor. Therefore, bad news never come alone: villagers mistrust about the Africans, taking them as thieves and criminals, and Teresa discovers that her husband betrayed her not with another woman as she thought but announcing him in the incoming elections as Fuentejuela de Abajo's vice-mayor for working at the service of Campello in a plan to turn Fuentejuela de Arriba in a touristic resort after the annexation. With no options, Teresa asks help her friends Jaime and Guiri to integrate the Africans in the town: it causes that Teresa feels interested about Azquil, that Guiri interests about Latisha for Shukra's jealousy (her ex boyfriend), that the own Shukra and Jaime's aging mother Encarnita starts a relation of hate and mistrust, and that Calulu interests about Jaime, hoping that he comes out of the closet. A true mess will explode when Campello and the rest of Fuentejuela de Abajo visit to their rivals for Fuentejuela de Arriba's local feasts, with unpredictable consequences for everybody.

Two Weeks Notice

1 hr 41 mins
Harvard educated lawyer Lucy Kelson, following in the footsteps of her lawyer parents, uses her career for social activism. She hides any sense of femininity behind her work. George Wade is the suave public face of the Manhattan-based Wade Corporation, a development firm that Lucy routinely opposes and whose true head is George's profit-oriented brother, Howard Wade. George, who has a reputation as a lady's man, has had as his legal counsel a series of beautiful female lawyers with questionable credentials, they who have more primarily acted as his casual sex partners. Needing a real lawyer, he offers Lucy the job of his legal counsel on a chance meeting. Despite warnings from her parents in working for the "enemy", Lucy, who has no intention of being the latest in his bed partners, accepts the job as she feels she can do more good from the inside, and as George, as part of the job offer, promises not to demolish a community center in a heritage building as part of a development project near her childhood Coney Island home where her parents still live. Although Lucy is able to effect the type of change she wanted from this position, she finds she cannot deal with George's expectations of her, namely being his primary confidante and advisor at all hours of the day and night, mostly about issues she considers frivolous. As such, she gives him two weeks notice, although she promises to help George find her replacement. As Lucy begins to review resumes, George himself unilaterally decides to hire June Carver, a fellow Harvardite, but who seems to have her sights set on George as both a boss and personal partner. As June begins to replace Lucy in seemingly all aspects of George's life, Lucy begins to realize that she herself has fallen for George. However, Lucy's feelings for George and her attempts to re-ingratiate herself into George's life are placed into jeopardy when she learns of a Wade Corporation decision against her basic sensibilities.
