Caring for an aging relative is rarely easy. Luckily for the siblings in the film 53 Sundays, they have one another to rely on. Right? Wrong. Written and directed by Goya Award winner Cesc Gay (Truman), the dramatic comedy follows one man’s three adult children as they come to blows during a family meeting about how to handle his mental decline. The film, an adaptation of Gay’s hit play of the same name, stars Javier Cámara, Carmen Machi, Javier Gutiérrez, and Alexandra Jiménez.

What happens in 53 Sundays?

When their 86-year-old father starts forgetting which bus to take home and takes to flashing the neighbors, responsible middle child and esteemed professor Natalia (Machi) calls a family meeting with her two brothers: the youngest, struggling actor Julián (Cámara), and the oldest, a wealthy attorney named Victor (Gutiérrez). The three gather at Julián’s apartment, but their volatile family dynamics derail their discussion. Natalia and Victor suggest that Julián, who has plenty of free time, step up and help their dad, which makes Julián resentful — just because he’s not as successful doesn’t mean he should be relegated to family butler. Then Victor adds fuel to the fire by boasting about a novel he’s just written, insinuating his brother’s creative spark fizzled out long ago. Natalia does her best to de-escalate, but her attempt backfires when her bros pile on about her aggravating people-pleasing. Can the three put aside their differences and make a plan to care for their father? Or will years of simmering resentment tear these siblings apart for good?
