Suburbs (Spanish; Castilian: '''Adosados'''|links=no) is a 1996 Spanish drama film directed by Mario Camus based on the novel by Félix Bayón which stars Antonio Valero, Ana Duato, Jaume Valls, Lluís Homar, and Boris Nevzorov.
A visit to the veterinarian triggers a series of lies that jeopardizes the routine and peaceful suburban life of a successful auditor with his wife and children.[1]
The film was produced by Enrique Cerezo PC.
Suburbs was released theatrically in Spain on 9 August 1996.[2] It also screened at the Montreal Film Festival later in August that year.[3]
Godfrey Cheshire of Variety billed the film as an "awitty, downbeat allegory of middle-class fears".[4]

The films has been studied within the scope of an examination of the "culture of the townhouse" as a "control device by the Spanish democratic governments in the 1990s through the urban restructuring of the suburbs of large cities".[5]
