The Coffee Table (Spanish title: La Mesita del Comedor entonces pero Coffee Table).
New parents Jesús and María visit a furniture shop, where Jesús—against his wife's loud objections—purchases an expensive but tacky flatpack coffee table with a glass top.
Returning home, they briefly chat to a female neighbour, and Jesús spends a few agitated minutes fending off the romantic advances of her 13 year old daughter, who is obssessed with him.
Having retreated into their apartment, Jesús assembles the table while María complains at him and then goes shopping. While she is out, an incident occurs involving the coffee table.
The rest of the movie involves Jesús' hilarious attempts to conceal his embarrassing mistake from his wife, his brother, his brother's vegan(!) girlfriend, his neighbours, and—somewhat bizarrely—the furniture salesman.
This sharp little comedy will delight and surprise a wide range of viewers, but particularly those with small children.
I rate The Coffee Table at 26.64, which works out as a zesty 8/10 on IMDB.
