There&#8217;s actually a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt15092772\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">version from Spain, too<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Paco is tired of his wife Dana, who\u2019s perpetually grumpy and critical. He tries to end their marriage indirectly by hiring a professional womanizer named Taiger to seduce Dana and make her fall in love with him.<\/p>\n<p>To Paco\u2019s surprise, though, Dana starts to change, becoming more confident and happy. This reignites Paco&#8217;s feelings for her, but the problem is she already likes Taiger.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s pretty funny to watch, especially during Taiger\u2019s scenes since he\u2019s not what you\u2019d expect.<\/p>\n<h2>2.<em> Culpa m\u00eda<\/em> (My Fault)<\/h2>\n<p><lite-youtube videoid=\"1SqMjrE0J6E\"><\/lite-youtube><\/p>\n<p><strong>Country:<\/strong> Spain<br \/>\n<strong>Year:<\/strong> 2023<br \/>\n<strong>Where to<\/strong> <strong>Watch:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/My-Fault-Nicole-Wallace\/dp\/B0B683GB78?tag=fluentu-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon Prime<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy Fault\u201d is one of the most watched non-English flicks ever on Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>Noah and Nick end up as step-siblings because Noah&#8217;s mom decides to marry Nick\u2019s dad, who\u2019s a billionaire.

They have conversations about life, love and personal secrets, all while encountering various people and places all over Mexico. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tensions rise as the boys get competitive, especially when Luisa displays interest in both of them, but they also discover the deeper meaning of sexuality.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">You can now learn with <em>Y tu mam\u00e1 tambi\u00e9n<\/em> and any other subtitled Netflix video with the <a href=\"https:\/\/chromewebstore.google.com\/detail\/fluentu\/bhjgmdcdhdffmpifijbfhjoipdbcnmid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FluentU Chrome extension.<\/a> It lets you click on words to look them up, and add them to vocab lists to review them later.<\/p>\n<h2>4. <em>Enfermo amor<\/em> (Love Sick)<\/h2>\n<p><lite-youtube videoid=\"Gl3nmnRAAN0\"><\/lite-youtube><\/p>\n<p><strong>Year: <\/strong>2022<strong><br \/>\nCountry:<\/strong>\u00a0Mexico<br \/>\n<strong>Where to<\/strong> <strong>Watch:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Enfermo-amor-Camila-Sodi\/dp\/B0B5XHGJGZ?tag=fluentu-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon Prime<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Love Sick&#8221;\u00a0features the stories of nine couples, as told in ten-minute snippets that all take place on the same day.<\/p>\n<p>Based on John Cariani&#8217;s play \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hamburgplayers.de\/lovesick\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LOVE\/SICK,\u201d<\/a> it represents the various aspects of love that go beyond the standard \u201chappy ever after\u201d narrative.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t have high expectations of it because of the unusual format, but the stories hit hard because they\u2019re all too relatable. The couples go through common issues like communication breakdowns, commitment issues and boredom.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of high-profile Mexican actors here, including Camila Sodi and Fernanda Castillo.<\/p>\n<h2>5. <em>Loco por ella <\/em>(Crazy About Her)<\/h2>\n<p><lite-youtube videoid=\"BYHR0EYLWj8\"><\/lite-youtube><\/p>\n<p><strong>Year: <\/strong>2021<strong><br \/>\nCountry:<\/strong> Spain<br \/>\n<strong>Where to<\/strong> <strong>Watch:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/81059918\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Netflix<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Adri, a successful journalist, falls in love with a free-spirited woman after a one-night stand.

In a bold move, he admits himself there to be close to her.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the focus is definitely romantic, I like how the film gives a realistic depiction of mental health issues. While Adri\u2019s main motive is still to catch the eye of the girl he likes, he also learns more about the complexities of mental illness and the importance of accepting people as they are.<\/p>\n<h2>6. <em>A trav\u00e9s de mi ventana<\/em> (Through My Window)<\/h2>\n<p><lite-youtube videoid=\"_zxhK3Z-R0c\"><\/lite-youtube><\/p>\n<p><strong>Year: <\/strong>2022<strong><br \/>\nCountry:<\/strong>\u00a0Spain<br \/>\n<strong>Where to<\/strong> <strong>Watch:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/81388078\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Netflix<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This teen drama made quite a splash when it was released.<\/p>\n<p>Rachel is a high school student who\u2019s crushing hard on her mysterious and handsome neighbor, Ares, whose family happens to be very wealthy.
