The Movistar+ platform has launched a docureality which aims to be the Iberian version of the Kardashians. The Spanish adaptation stars Vicky Martín Berrocal's family clan. The flamenco fashion designer has brought together her daughter, her sister, and her mother to explain the everyday life that keeps them together and relatively busy. At the same time, it's a staging that serves to promote themselves as suitable subjects for any marketing activity. The interest in giving a media push to the youngest of the clan is evident, who, for a change, is another daughter of famous parents who doesn't seem to have any job, benefit, or vocation beyond cultivating their own ego.
This copy cañí The Kardashian family tries to imbue itself with modernity and elitism by imitating the American saga's style. They all wear the same makeup, hair, and dresses, and they coordinate their clothes when they're together. But in reality, The Berrocal It's Iberian antiquity disguised in tracksuits, sneakers, and tight suits. All the clichés of the most traditional Spain are present: the courageous mother, the deceased manipulator, the bullfighter's ex-wife and daughter, the flamenco skirt designer, and the entire retinue that revolves around her as if they were subjects.Were you the one who made my sideboards?", she arrogantly asks a bewildered employee who looks at the protagonist with a frightened expression. All of this is disguised as false feminism, because there is a story that exudes classism. The protagonists confuse luxury and status with empowerment.
The Mardra Berro clan the cream of the crop Madrid and Andalusia. From in-store parties with Ana Rosa Quintana as a guest to warning workers who haven't fixed a water leak. In the first episode, between the presentation of the dress collection, the work on the apartment, and the podcast recordings, they address the childhood trauma of an absent father. The result is grotesque. They introduce the deceased through a statue they have of him in a courtyard and venerate him as if he were a saint. "He was one of monster", they say before the work of art. And yes, he was, but certainly not in the sense they wanted to express. The man was a macho and manipulative jerk, authoritarian and irresponsible. They recount stages of deception, cuckoldry, and family abandonment, but at the same time they justify and whitewash it. choni and the generational contrast, eating a sandwich in the middle of the highway with her rapper boyfriend after putting a glitter cover on the steering wheel of the Mercedes.
The aim is to construct a story about the spirit of sacrifice, the strength of blood, and unconditional love that is artificial. The Berrocal It is perishable and fragile because it is a slave to imitation. It is a staging that demonstrates more desperation than power, and a portrait of an outmoded Spain that perpetuates women as objects of exhibition.
