Overview
After the closure of their shipyard in Northern Spain, a few former workers: Santa, José, Lino, Amador, Sergei and Reina keep in touch. They meet mainly at a bar owned by their former colleague Rico. Santa is the most superficially confident and unofficial leader of the group. A court case hangs over him relating to a shipyard lamp he smashed during a protest against the closure. José is bitter that his wife, Ana, is employed when he is not.

A small, intimate film that moves viewers with its passion.

Midway, Mondays in the Sun becomes as dull as a day with nothing to do.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

The best thing that can be said about this funny, poignant and compassionate film is that watching it is not work.
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press

Thoughtful and well-acted, but a little flat in the story department.
