Storyline

Jesús and Maria are a couple going through a difficult time in their relationship. Nevertheless, they have just become parents. To shape their new life, they decide to buy a new coffee table. A decision that will change their existence forever. — Official synopsis Jesús and Maria love each other, endlessly, magnificently, even though they sometimes just don't notice. But hey, now that their little lump of love is born, everything's going to work out. Sure, Maria still has a bit of a North-Korean streak in handling the household, calling all the shots when it comes to the color of their apartment walls, the name of the baby, the food they eat, the TV shows they watch, the thickness of the toilet paper and their holiday destination. Jesús, to prove to her and himself he ain't some spineless trilobite but that he has a will of his own, gets to pick the coffee table. Halleluiah. A hard-won victory that he's cherishing by picking out the most aggressively ugly little thing imaginable, the furniture equivalent of Liberace getting lost in Ikea. An unbreakable wonder, says the salesman. Overpriced, says Maria. It will bring boundless happiness to their lives, says the salesman. Their worst nightmare, says us. — Cinephobia Releasing Jesús and María, young new parents on cloud nine, have recently moved into a new apartment to accommodate their growing family. However, we all have our battles to fight in a relationship. After all, María has been making most of the decisions for the couple. Now, Jesús is determined to pick out their new coffee table. So, with a playful desire to tease María, he selects a gaudy designer must-have adorned with gold and topped with a sleek glass surface. The seller insists that this unbreakable piece of furniture will transform their lives. As it turns out, he might be onto something. — Nick Riganas
