Sabates grosses

Based on true events seen and heard by the walls of The house of the Columns, the building across the street and the the Dominican church. A penniless aristocrat with strong religious convictions, his daughter who’s always on his case, the grand dame with a turbulent past, the naughty Dominican friar, who is friends with a great Cuban singer, but he’s not able to get involved with a Caribbean mulata, mother of a black-as-coal pro-Catalan independence son. And the two concierges, an Scottish woman hidden behind three personalities, languages and a bunch of passports; her perfidious nephew who is after her with his handsome Russian lover.
