Tales of an Immoral Couple (Spanish; Castilian: La vida inmoral de la pareja ideal) is a 2016 Mexican romantic comedy written and directed by Manolo Caro.[1] The film stars Cecilia Suárez, Ximena Romo, Manuel García Rulfo, and Sebastián Aguirre.
Lucio and Martina are two teens who meet during their first years at a private Catholic school in San Miguel de Allende. Discovering an indescribable chemistry between them, they set out exploring their sexualities, falling deeper and deeper in love. The film tells their story in a series of flashbacks, with the actual plot taking place 25 years later after Martina and Lucio have been separated thanks to a scandal that ended their high school romance, but reunite thanks to a chance encounter in the street. The two then set about orchestrating fake spouses and families for themselves in order to impress the other, before a raucous dinner sets the record straight.[2]
