Starring Penelope Cruz winner of 1993 Oscar for Best Foreign Film (and winner of nine Goyas, Spain's top film prize) is a light and airy comedy that really shouldn't work as well as it does. But with its narrative simplicity and charming performances and deft directorial touch, Belle Epoque emerges as an entertaining romp. Set in Spain in 1931, it recounts the experiences of Fernando, an army deserter to whom a free-thinking artist, Manolo, extends shelter and friendship.
When Manolo's four daughters return to his big, countryside home in order to escape the political strife in Madrid, Fernando finds himself in paradise
