Love Can Seriously Damage Your Health (Spanish: El amor perjudica seriamente la salud) is a 1997 Spanish comedy film directed by Manuel Gómez Pereira [1] and starring Ana Belén, Juanjo Puigcorbé, Gabino Diego and Penélope Cruz.
In Paris, King Juan Carlos I offers a dinner at Hôtel Crillon. Diana (Ana Belén) meets Santi (Juanjo Puigcorbé), an old lover, who now is the King's bodyguard. They remember how they met each other, 30 years ago, in another hotel, in Madrid. Diana (Penélope Cruz) and Santi (Gabino Diego) met when The Beatles were going to play. He works in the hotel. She hides under John Lennon's bed because she's in love with the singer. But, what starts is an attraction between them. It is an impossible love because she wants to be rich and famous, and he is poor and has to join the Air Force. When they meet again, Diana has become a socialite, and Santi is a pilot. Both are married, but the love goes on...
