What happens

The Worst Years of Our Lives (Spanish: Los peores años de nuestra vida) is a 1994 Spanish comedy film directed by Emilio Martínez Lázaro and written by David Trueba which stars Gabino Diego, Ariadna Gil, and Jorge Sanz. The film was nominated for four Goya Awards, winning one (for best sound).
