SYNOPSIS :
“If you want to know what a crisis is,” says one of the characters in 2 Francos, 40 pesetas, “then come to Spain”. When the popular comic Carlos Iglesias made One Franc, 14 pesetas back in 2006, the true story it told – about Spaniards forced into exile in Switzerland in search of work in the 60s, based on the experiences of Iglesias’ own family  – seemed like a distant memory. The current crisis, which has forced another generation of Spaniards to uproot for similar reasons, makes the follow-up, set in 1974, feel oddly contemporary despite its dated treatment, and it’s where the film is pushing the then/now comparisons that it’s at its best.
