MIAMI, FL., August 2024 - ViendoMovies, the channel owned by SOMOSTV (a company chaired by Luis Villanueva and part of SOMOS Group) that programs the best Spanish-language films, 24 hours a day and without commercial breaks, presents this weekend the Spanish film “La Vida Padre” (2022, Spain), a fun and successful comedy that has been well-received by audiences and a box office hit in several territories. This high-profile premiere complements the channel’s current programming, which includes productions from the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Spain. ViendoMovies is known for programming high-quality contemporary cinema produced in Spanish from all Spanish-speaking countries, while also promoting the talent of the Spanish-language film industry.

“La Vida Padre” stars Enric Auquer and Karra Elejalde, alongside Megan Montaner. The film is directed by Joaquín Mazón and tells the story of Mikel, a young and ambitious chef, who receives an unexpected visit from his father Juan, who disappeared thirty years ago. At a critical moment for the future of his restaurant, Mikel must take care of his wild and unpredictable father, a true whirlwind of vitality who will challenge all his ideas about cooking and life. The film premiered worldwide at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the city where the action takes place.

The premiere of “La Vida Padre” strengthens the channel’s programming in August, which includes a cycle of films by Chilean TV and film actor/director Alfredo Castro, with movies every Sunday of the month, as well as premieres like the drama “La Balada de Los Cuervos” (Dominican Republic, 2022).
