Second hand’s Lourdes

Luciano (Álex Angulo), a sewner from a small provincial city, will cause a series of incidents that will end the suspension of the feasts of the Virgin. All for an omelet sandwich that his mother prepared for him to go to work.

Directed by Chema de la Peña, Second hand’s Lourdes leans on a strong ensemble — Mariví Bilbao, Álex Angulo, Carlos Lucas — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1995.
