Картина рассказывает о странствиях Рафа, андалузца чистой виноградной лозы, который никогда не покидал своей родной и любимой Севильи, так как она давала ему все, что нужно для жизни — хорошее вино, гель для волос и женщин. В один прекрасный день жизнь Рафа меняется, после того, как он встречает первую женщину, устоявшую перед его обаянием — басконку Амайю. Чтобы завоевать ее, Рафа совершает путешествие в Страну Басков, чтобы доказать прекрасной девушке, что он в душе настоящий баск и достоин ее любви.
"Ocho apellidos vascos," a 2014 Spanish romantic comedy, was a groundbreaking film produced by LAZONA and Kowalski Films. Directed by Emilio Martínez-Lázaro, the movie humorously explores the cultural clash between Andalusian and Basque traditions through the unlikely romance of Rafa, a Seville native, and Amaia, a Basque woman. The film's title, which translates to "Eight Basque Surnames," playfully refers to Rafa's attempts to impress Amaia's father by adopting multiple Basque surnames. This light-hearted approach to serious themes of regional identity and stereotypes resonated deeply with Spanish audiences, making it the highest-grossing Spanish film at the time. The narrative follows Rafa as he journeys from Seville to the Basque Country in pursuit of Amaia, whom he met during a fleeting encounter. To win over her fiercely traditional father, Koldo, Rafa enlists the help of a local, who coaches him on Basque customs and language. The film cleverly uses these cultural lessons to both comedic and poignant effect, highlighting the absurdity of stereotypes while fostering a sense of unity. The chemistry between the lead actors, Dani Rovira and Clara Lago, adds depth to the film, making the audience root for their unconventional love story. "Ocho apellidos vascos" not only broke box office records but also sparked a cultural conversation about regional identities within Spain. The film's success led to a sequel, "Ocho apellidos catalanes," further exploring the country's diverse cultural landscape. Its impact extended beyond entertainment, as it encouraged viewers to reflect on their own prejudices and appreciate the richness of Spain's regional diversity. The film's ability to blend humor with social commentary made it a landmark in Spanish cinema. In addition to its cultural significance, "Ocho apellidos vascos" showcased the talents of its production companies, LAZONA and Kowalski Films. Their collaboration resulted in a film that was both critically acclaimed and beloved by audiences, demonstrating the power of well-crafted storytelling. The movie's enduring popularity and its role in sparking meaningful dialogue about regional identities in Spain underscore its importance in the landscape of contemporary Spanish cinema.
