Como Si Fuéramos Novios

Pedro and Laurita are a young couple whose daily life is shaped by Laurita's blindness. Pedro takes whatever work he can find and scrapes together small savings while Laurita copes with hope, fear and the ordinary strains of their relationship. Family members, including a protective mother and a stern father, offer both help and friction as choices about care, money and dignity pile up. The film keeps its attention on the couple's routines and quiet moments, showing how tenderness, pride and practical limits interact. It focuses on the personal side of arranging surgery and medical costs without revealing later developments or the final outcome. The film's pacing is deliberate, with understated performances, modest production values and focus on everyday detail.

Released in 1986, Como Si Fuéramos Novios was directed by Sergio Vegar and created by Carlos Valdemar. The cast includes Pedro Fernández, Ana Patricia Rojo, María Sorté, Tony Bravo and Manuel Medel. It premiered locally in 1986, reaching modest audiences.
