I love a biographical story

Often I don't realize a movie or tv show is based on true events until the end when they suddenly show more information or real life pictures or video. It does often add to the charm of the movie, especially if the movie already touched you in a way, such as Nonnas did some days ago.

This weekend we were browsing Netflix for something to watch and I knew there were a few new releases so we may be lucky to find something we both wanted to watch. The endless Spanish tv shows or movies are often not something my boyfriend wants to watch so I seperate these for when I watch Netflix by myself. Luckily I saw the trailer of Nonnas appear and I knew this could be a good one.

Let's start with thet trailer in case you haven't seen it yet.

Feelgood drama

I don't like spoiling too much of a movie or tv show so I'm going to try and keep it a bit vague while still hoping you'll check it out if you love a feelgood movie.

Joe's mother dies and leaves an inheritance, his two best friends (a couple) are trying to convince him to enjoy life with it as they feel this is what his mother would have wanted. When Joe decides to open a restaurant from the money, his best friend is not very supportive at first, but soon turns around to help him out where he can.

He actually goes above and beyond, without Joe knowing this. A true friendship, I'd say. The reason Joe opens a restaurant is because he used to love seeing his "Nonna" which is grandmother and mother cook and he wanted to honour the family recipes while giving guests in the restaurant a feeling of family and feeling at home.

This whole storyline alone is something I personally love but the story goes further, he wants the food to be cooked by true other "Nonnas" who implement their own family recipes from their own region.

Nonnas

The nonnas are some characters and I think I don't say too much when I mention not all goes smooth between them. Joe definitely picked some different types of ladies who have to learn to work together.

Moved me to tears

The movie got me and my boyfriend sucked in fully and moved both of us to tears, sometimes you just need to watch a feelgood movie as this one and yeah it's possible we were also moved by tears a bit because of the lack of our own nonnas and family around. Either way, this was one of these great watches that I'd recommend to everyone!

Universe alligning

Fun fact is that the very next day (I already wrote about it in my previous post), we went to the city and ended up in such a family owned restaurant where we had the best Moroccan food which truly made me feel at home and reminded me of this exact feeling this movie had given me earlier.

Family recipes shouldn't go to waste and I'm sad that I have none of these recipes from my grandparents. A year ago or so I decided to bundle my own succesfull recipes loved by my daughter so that later she at least has something like that to think about and maybe copy them or even improve them.

My daughter is a difficult eater but is my biggest support when she loves one of my pastas or baked items, I think she deserves to at least have the recipes, even though they are probably not special enough to top these recipes from Nonnas.. In the end, it's more about the memories being kept alive.

If you watched the movie, let me know what you thought about it, if you are going to watch it, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

We watched Nonnas for Mother’s Day . We loved it. Such a great story and to know it’s based on actual events is amazing. His best friend really did go above and beyond for sure.

It was great wasn't it? I always love finding out at the end that a movie or show was based on true events and then seeing true pictures or video from the real story. This was indeed a real Mother's day movie for sure!

Hope you're good Joe! Thanks for stopping by <3

🤣Netflix honestly made me watch spanish series and movies. I can tell you as much, I have the same thought as your boyfriend, it's not something that I want to watch but for me, it's curiosity mostly. Based on your review, it's certainly different from the typical spanish movie/series.

And these days, I am trying to do the same. I only have my mom now and want to preserve her recipes, so I am trying to learn a lot from her and even make my own twist of a family recipe. Your daughter would really appreciate it and I hope she understand its value, it's something money could never buy.

Oh I was speaking generally about Netflix and me wanting to watch lots of Spanish shows, this one isn't Spanish. The leading role is played by Vince Vaunce. So you're good!

There's a real fine line between a GOOD Spanish tv show or movie or a really bad one though, I often know in the first 20 mins max if I will be able to follow/like it enough to continue but thankfully, there are SO many to choose from. I often find series years old or with more seasons and having 80 episodes a season. Whenever one of these is nice, then I'm happy to have something to watch for a longer period.

I think you're doing the right thing to preserve these recipes! I've documented some stuff on the old platform and then on Hive but never gathered them together or updated them when improving something later so I'm working on a folder on my computer with that now to eventually print it and bundle it for the offspring :)

These memories from food may not seem that important now, but I'm 100% sure in the future any kid will appreciate having them if it's a recipe from the family they used to love. In the end, many memories are food related lol.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!
