Piece of sh... with so many stereotypes

I have certainly never seen such a bad acting in my life. I mean, there are very bad movies, but they do not pretend to be serious. This one does, and that is what makes it pathetic. Truly, this film is so bad, foreseeable, full of stereotypes about people from the country side, about people from Andalusia,about English travelers, about the art and a village environment. Is it possible to make a story that usual? A foreigner arriving in the middle of nowhere,in a remote village, who falls in love with a local, changing by the way the customs of the village and its peace. They do not even imitate well the accent from Granada. Pathetic.
