A Carlos Alcántara ya casi no le sirve el traje de romano. Aprovechando el puente, Miguel y Antonio se reúnen para – por fin- liquidar "fifty, fifty" la herencia de Doña Pura. Cuando todo está listo, la realidad histórica irrumpe de nuevo. En el año en el que, según un titular de la época "el campo se echó al monte", las tierras de los Alcántara son ocupadas por sus vecinos. Para complicar las cosas, una noticia en la tarde del Sábado Santo interrumpe la programación de la televisión, y en el "parte" de RNE se escucha las palabras atropelladas de Alejo García.” El Partido Comunista de España ha sido legalizado, repito- ha sido legalizado". Suenan las marchas de las procesiones, y toda España aguanta la respiración…
If you're seeking a refreshing comedy that offers both laughs and heartfelt moments, look no further than "7 Vidas." This beloved Spanish sitcom aired from 1999 to 2006 on Telecinco and has carved out an enduring legacy in the realm of television. The show tells the story of David (Toni Cantó), who awakens after 18 years in a coma only to discover that everything he once knew has changed dramatically. From navigating modern society to dealing with eccentric family members like his neurotic sister Carlota (Blanca Portillo) and Marxist neighbor Sole (Amparo Baró), viewers are in for an entertaining ride.
The premise alone sets up a plethora of humorous situations as David grapples with his new reality—everything from technology to social norms is foreign to him. He must adapt quickly while also trying to find his place amidst quirky characters such as his best friend Paco (Javier Cámara) and cousin Laura (Paz Vega), who is equally lost in her bid for independence from her affluent upbringing. Each episode introduces fresh scenarios that not only highlight David's struggles but also explore timeless themes such as love, friendship, and self-discovery.
In its first season, which consists of four episodes filled with laugh-out-loud moments, we see how David's journey unfolds against the backdrop of societal changes in Spain. From confronting romantic dilemmas to navigating familial responsibilities, each episode is packed with relatable content that resonates across cultures. The show's witty banter often pokes fun at current events and societal issues while maintaining a lighthearted tone—a hallmark of great sitcoms like "Friends" or "Cuéntame cómo pasó," making it easy for viewers to feel connected.
