Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for anyone who likes life-or-death stakes every episode and romantics. Life-and-death stakes, often at a run. Shelve it next to The Magnificent Ambersons or Damage.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 25 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1952: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

After indulging in an affair with a man (a friend of the family) she truly loves, a woman returns to her young son and husband for good, and loses contact with the man. Her husband is unaware of the affair. Twenty years later, there is news that the friend has died and left all of his money to the younger son in the family, which leads us to question this younger son's biological origin.
