The Little Apartment

Directed by Isidoro M. Ferry and Marco Ferreri

With José Luis López Vázquez, Mary Carrillo, Concha López Silva, Ángel Álvarez and María Luisa Ponte

Rodolfo and Petrita each live in separate quarters in dilapidated Madrid, while looking to have a little apartment (or "pisito", in Spanish dialect). Unfortunately their low salaries prevent them from acquiring one. Soon, Rodolfo's co-workers urge him to marry the old and frail Doña Martina, who is the main tenant in the apartment he boards in. According to Spanish rent-control law, he could inherit the lease from his spouse. Thus begin his misgivings, and Petrita's.
