About La sal de la vida
The film tells in a funny way the ups and downs of a widower who would like to marry again. But his choice to take a young woman as the bride does not conform with what his three daughters want as stepmother. Naturally this will cause all kinds of irritation and problems
Directed by Eugenio Martín, La sal de la vida leans on a strong ensemble — Patxi Andión, Yvonne Reyes, Juan Diego Botto — 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 screen titles of 1996.
