The Mortimers is a 2025 Spanish comedy-horror-mystery film directed by Álvaro Fernández Armero, following five young friends who stumble onto a criminal conspiracy inside a cemetery and find themselves completely on their own when the adults around them refuse to believe a word they say.

What is The Mortimers about?

When a group of five childhood friends gather at a local cemetery on what begins as an ordinary outing, they witness something that was never meant for their eyes — a carefully orchestrated scheme to steal a precious jewel hidden among the graves. Their excitement at having cracked a real criminal case quickly turns to frustration when every grown-up in their lives dismisses their story as imagination or childish fantasy. Left to figure things out themselves, the friends must navigate lies, misdirection, and genuine danger while keeping their secret investigation alive. The film balances its comedic energy with genuine suspense, letting the kids carry the story through both laughs and scares.

Cast & crew

The film is directed by Álvaro Fernández Armero, a Spanish filmmaker with a track record in genre-blending comedies. The young ensemble includes Diego Montejo, Iratxe Emparan, Adrián Checa, Bruna González, and Melani García in the central roles, supported by Alexandra Jiménez, Víctor Clavijo, and Pepe Lorente among the adults who refuse to take the children seriously.

Context & significance

Spanish genre cinema has long excelled at mixing comedy with supernatural or criminal unease, and The Mortimers sits comfortably within that tradition — think of it as a sunlit, slightly macabre adventure aimed at families and fans of smart youth-led mysteries. For Persian-speaking diaspora viewers who grew up with tales of clever kids outsmarting oblivious adults, the premise carries an immediate appeal that transcends language. The film arrives on K-Time with a Persian dub, making it a comfortable choice for households watching with younger Farsi speakers or anyone who prefers the story in their own language. Its 125-minute runtime gives the plot room to breathe and layer its comic and suspenseful beats.
