Should they take him to a nursing home? Should he go live with one of them? What begins as a polite family gathering turns into a situation that is as funny as it is unexpected and spirals out of control.

The film is produced by Imposible Films , with Marta Esteban and Laia Bosch as executive producers. Written and directed by Cesc Gay, 53 Sundays was shot at Netflix Production Center in Tres Cantos and various locations in central Madrid.

In the words of Cesc Gay , " I have always been very fortunate to work with actors and actresses who have made my work better. Comedy is the most difficult genre, but from the first rehearsals my fears disappeared when I heard Javier Cámara, Carmen Machi, Javier Gutiérrez, and Alexandra Jiménez read the script. During those breakfasts at my apartment in Madrid, we talked, discussed, rehearsed, laughed, and, between the five of us, we shaped this comedy that audiences will soon be able to enjoy in their homes ."
