Yes, Alex Jandro--you are absolutely right, it was celem�n. Very interesting, and quite a big unit of measure given the context. Just out of curiosity, where's your mom's hometown?
Hola, Mariposita... The town is a little pueblo called Ayna and is situated South of Albacete, in Castilla-La Mancha. quote: I love the language in Almodovar's films, particularly that of the old-timers in the pueblos (like in Flor de mi secreto, when the main character goes back to her mom's hometown).
Not an Almod�var film, but if you can get a copy of "Amanece que no es poco" you'll find some genuine pueblo language (specially accent) At least here in Spain it's been released on DVD. It's a funny movie and, guess what, it was filmed in Ayna  |

taken from the description page from "fnac" on that movie... quote: En el pueblo se celebran elecciones generales cada a�o, y en ellas se eligen, por rigurosa votaci�n los cargos de alcalde, cura, maestro, puta, marimacho en per�odo de prueba y seis adulteras.
english: quote: there are general elections every year in the village in which they choose, by rigorous votation, the mayor, priest, teacher, whore, butch tom boy in training and six adultresses.
