Who Wants to Marry an Astronaut?

Synopsis

In this splashy tribute to beloved rom-coms of the past, marriage-obsessed David must choose between his matrimony-adverse boyfriend and the stranger who agrees to simulate a spur-of-the-moment Vegas wedding. As the universe doles out destiny, all three are swept up in the adventure. It’s a fairytale…what could possibly spoil it? Egged on by his bestie Ángeles (Sabrina Praga) and a mother (Lluïsa Mallol) so hands-on she has a Grindr profile to track his movements, David (Raúl Tejón) takes the leap, booking his flight from Barcelona to Vegas. The faked wedding is only meant to be a lark. A way to satisfy his matrimonial fever so he can settle into his 15-year relationship with Quique (Alejandro Nones), who refuses any such thing. But when Ángeles’ friend Esteban (Raúl Fernández de Pablo) joins him, downtrodden David’s future becomes as bright—and chaotic—as the Vegas strip. Esteban’s joie de vivre and generous attentions give David confidence that he is beautiful and worthy of love, and he starts to see a new man through Esteban’s lens. Are the best things in life improvised—or would David be mistaken in giving up on Quique too soon?
