THE HAPPIEST DAY OF OUR LIFE

August 1964, Socuéllamos, Ciudad Real. On the eve of their First Communion, Spain's most famous quadruplets toss and turn in their beds. They can't sleep thinking about the longed-for and feared moment of receiving the Body and Blood of Christ. The innocence of their conversations reveals the stereotypes of Spain in the sixties on the threshold of what should be "the happiest day of their lives." The shadow of the severe hand of religion looms over them, as does the fear of sinning and the terror of disappointing others (and themselves).

Twenty years later, the quadruplets meet again. Same room, same sleeplessness, although now "that other happiest day of their lives" is their wedding. Nerves, doubts and confessions appear again under the cover of the sheets in a very different political and social context: socialist Spain and the Movida. The sisters are no longer the same, although the moral clichés that still survive are still attached to the seams of their nightgowns.
