The Miracle of P. Tinto (1998)
The Miracle of P. Tinto (1998)
Overview
A Spanish surrealist comedy from director Javier Fesser, this 1998 film follows P. Tinto and his wife Olivia, a childless couple so determined to become parents that they end up housing alien midgets and an escaped mental patient they cheerfully accept as their son. The story is absurdist to its bones, but beneath the chaos sits a very traditional impulse: two people in a devoted, lifelong marriage who want a family above all else. The unconventional household they build leans toward chosen-family territory, but the emotional anchor is a committed married couple pursuing parenthood. That combination of surreal form and warmly conventional feeling earns the Leans Traditional label.
Starring Cast
Luis Ciges • Janusz Ziemniak • Pablo Pinedo
