Dirty plates? ¿Pero qué…? Posted by on Sep 10, 2012 in Spanish Culture

¡Hola! ¿Cómo están?

The first foreign language I was in contact with was Catalan. I had some neighbors from Barcelona and until I was eight I could understand almost everything they said. But then I moved to another house, they moved to another city and Catalan was soon forgotten.

Some years ago I decided to resume my Catalan studies and I came up with this very cool TV show called Plats Bruts (Platos Sucios – Dirty Plates). Here’s the Wikipedia summary for Plats Bruts:

David (Joel Joan) – un joven de 25 años y medio perteneciente a la alta burguesía que decide independizarse – y Lópes (Jordi Sánchez) – un locutor de radio diez años mayor que tiene problemas económicos- son dos compañeros de piso que viven en el barrio barcelonés de l’Eixample. Pronto descubren a su vecina Emma (Mònica Glaenzel), que vive en una casa de madera construida en el tejado y que trastocará todavía más su día a día. El resto de personajes, que se reúnen en el bar Maurici – regentado por el camarero homosexual y compañero de clase de David en el Institut del Teatre Pol (Pau Durà) -, son el compañero de trabajo de Lópes Ramón (Lluís X. Villanueva) y su jefa Mercedes (Montse Pérez).

Plats Bruts was dubbed in Spanish and below you can watch the first two episodes. ¡Aprovéchalo!
