Satur and Tina are married, and Berta enters their life as a ‘unicorn.’ In the end, however, Satur is pushed out and Tina and Berta have an affair. Manu is a loser who tries to embark on a relationship with Amanda, who at the same time is involved with Alex, Claudia and Marta and Esteban, with whom they are all co-raising two children. Everyone seem to be living many different lives but all of them will have a lot to learn from each other.

City of Madrid (Madrid, center to Spain and country's capital). Manu is a 28 years old boy and he continues living with his parents Satur, a retired catering service director, and Tina, a seller of technology equipment. Working as a mediocre youtuber promoting his mother's equipment, Manu goes to a comic-con for declaring to his Internet's love interest, with horrible consequences: not only the girl rejects him, but a cosplayer named Toadman hits him, making hurt in one hand. When Satur takes his son to the hospital, they two meet a nurse named Amanda, a beauty and free-spirited girl for that Manu falls in love from the first moment. However, the things complicate more than expected when Manu learns that Amanda practices polyamory, having love relations at the same time with Claudia (a transgender girl who works as costumer in a TV channel), Álex (a full of himself and athletic model who obsessively thinks that the agencies only want him by his body), and too with Esteban and Marta (a married couple with liberal ideals in an attempt to break the classics concepts of love and education for their two children). Completely unfamiliar with the modern ways to love of the 21st century and taking them by a lustful people whose pretend their unleashed sexual desire as new-age love, Satur convinces Manu to use his comic-con's disguise (a variant of Red Power Ranger) to turn him in the Ranger of Love, a macho who defends the classic way despising the LGTBI's collective and all the terms associated to it. At the same time that Ranger of Love turns viral in Internet making him famous for despising of Amanda and the rest, Manu tries to seduce her to be the only one in her life. According the plan works and one by one all the relations fail (Claudia's loses the money lent by Amanda to open together a fashion store, Álex is discovered being unfaithful to another girl and having a Sexual Transmision Disease, and Marta's intolerance for that her children watch Walt Disney movies causes the final break-up), Manu starts to have regrets about his intentions, but Satur presses him to continue to the end, specially when a famous TV show offers him an interview to earn much money. Manu accepts with the condition to leave Ranger of Love after the interview, but then happens a double trouble: Claudia discovers Manu as Ranger of Love, and this night Amanda visits Manu in his house for finding that the things are more different that she thought.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
