The Fantastic Golem Affairs – Watch the trailer for the new Spanish absurdist comedy

The story begins with Juan and David playing a movie guessing game on a rooftop. During an animated round, David strips naked, mimics a monkey and accidentally falls to his death. However, instead of a conventional fatal impact, his body inexplicably shatters into ceramic-like fragments. Juan, devastated and confused, attends David’s funeral, where his remains are treated with eerie indifference. As Juan attempts to process his grief, he is bombarded with bureaucratic nuisances, including funeral expenses and insurance claims for the damaged car David landed on. Determined to uncover the truth behind his friend’s bizarre demise, Juan embarks on an investigation.

Written and directed by Burnin’ Percebes (Juan González and Fernando Martínez), the film stars Brays Efe, Bruna Cusí, Luis Tosar, Javier Botet, Anna Castillo, Nao Albet, Roberto Álamo, Roger Coma, Tito Valverde, and David Menéndez.

The Fantastic Golem Affairs opens in US cinemas on 29th August 2025.
