De Eso No Se Habla

A complete Spanish lesson plan for De Eso No Se Habla — ready to open and teach.

A domineering Argentine mother raises her daughter in a small provincial town and simply refuses to acknowledge the one thing everyone can see. María Luisa Bemberg's film is elliptical and strange — funny in places it probably shouldn't be — and Marcello Mastroianni arrives midway and makes everything more complicated. The Spanish is elegant and understated.

Good films have natural moments — a powerful scene, a cultural encounter, a shift in the story — where the language and meaning come together. This plan identifies those moments in De Eso No Se Habla and builds a lesson around each one. For every scene, you get vocabulary and cultural notes, comprehension activities, and communicative tasks your students can work through in class or independently. A pre-film warm-up gets them ready before the first screening.

Everything is included: the teacher’s guide, student worksheets in Spanish, and an answer key.

📅 Teach it when it counts

• Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept 15–Oct 15) — Argentine small-town society and the things nobody names out loud — a film that rewards close attention and post-screening discussion.
• Women's History Month (March) — Bemberg's second film in this batch — her work on gender, silence, and resistance runs through the whole Spanish catalog.
