A comedy by Cesc Gay to understand how the family works (or doesn't) in modern times.
53 Sundays tells the story of three siblings faced with a decision that will change their lives: what to do with their 86-year-old father, whose behaviour is becoming increasingly incomprehensible. What should be an orderly and rational family gathering turns into an emotional time bomb, where a seemingly harmless remark can unleash decades of unresolved tensions.
With the humour and sharpness that define Gay's work, this family comedy explores, without filters, the dynamics between siblings, hidden secrets, and the resentments that surface when the family comes together. A poignant reflection on age, responsibility, and the bonds that both unite and break us.
On March 27, 2026, its film adaptation¿also directed by Gay¿premieres on Netflix. The work bears the hallmark quality of an author who has successfully brought his narrative universe to both theatre and film.
