Synopsis:

A rivalry between two actors proves to have dangerous consequences in this drama from Spain. Daniel (Federico Luppi) is the star of a popular television series who is interested in more prestigious work. and longs to appear on the legitimate stage. Daniel is lobbying for the leading role in Divertimento, a well-known play that made a star of leading man Bernardo Gabler (Francisco Rabal). When Daniel pays a visit to the theater where the play is being staged, he discovers to his surprise that Bernardo is waiting for him. Bernardo is not at all eager to turn over his signature role to another actor and insists on putting Daniel through a punishing audition, which turns out to be the least of Daniel's problems when Bernardo forces him to help hide a corpse, implicating him in a murder Bernardo claims to have committed. Divertimento also features Sonia Castelo and Pastor Rodriguez Feal.

Daniel Osantos is the popular star of a tv soap opera who wants to expand his range. He settles on a play named 'Divertimento', playing at an old theatre in Galicia, where he will be taking over from seasoned actor Bernardo Gabler. Osantos pays a visit to the theatre and finds himself engaged in a sort of theatrical duel with Gabler, who is intent on finding out whether Osantos has the skills and talent requisite for the role.
