Vaya par de gemelos

'Vaya par de gemelos' is a Spanish comedy directed by Pedro Lazaga with a script by Vicente Coello. The film stars Paco Martínez Soria and premiered in 1978.

In it, the popular actor plays two twins, Lucas and Pedro, who are from Tarazona - just like Martínez Soria himself. Pedro is the wealthy brother, earning a good salary as the head of a chocolate factory, and he is also lucky in love: he is married to Julia, a sensitive woman. Together, they lead a life of travel and luxury. On the other hand, we have Lucas, married to Mariana, who has a very different lifestyle: controlled all day by his wife, he even works for her in a local shop, from which he has never left.

Tired of living a miserable life, Lucas asks his brother Pedro for help to achieve a life similar to his. It is then that he confesses his big secret: before getting married, he invented a premarital child to whom he supposedly sends a pension every month with his wife's approval. Then, he spends all that money. When Lucas tries to do the same, his wife Mariana is not so understanding and does not forgive him for the affair, even though it was before marriage.

Things get complicated when Pilar, Pedro and Julia's real daughter, announces that she is getting married. It is then that Julia asks Pedro to invite their son home. From here on, Pedro starts chaining one lie after another in this popular farcical comedy from the late seventies. The film was a huge success.
