Ninette is a Spanish comedy film directed by José Luis Garci. Released in 2005, it is based on the plays Ninette y un señor de Murcia and Ninette, modas de París by Miguel Mihura.[1][2][3][4][5]
The film had 7 Goya Award nominations and one win.[6]
Ninette Sánchez is an intelligent, sexy, charming and spontaneous Parisian girl, daughter of Spanish republican exiles, working in the Galeries Lafayette. Her ingenuousness and beauty charm Andrés, a humble Spanish vendor of religious items from Murcia, who is staying with her family after he came to Paris to meet "easy" French women. Andrés falls for her many charms. Unfortunately, Ninette's parents, Pierre and Bernarda, do not take the news well when Ninette announces that she is pregnant.
