Synopsis:

The third feature from popular Spanish filmmaker Juanma Bajo Ulloa is a sprawling and complex action comedy with a touch of Almodovar-esque surrealistic absurdity that simultaneously satirizes gangster movies, film noir, and the Catholic Church. Juantxo is the chief protagonist. Coming from a bourgeois family, he has had all the opportunities to fulfill his father's wishes by obtaining a university degree, getting a high-paying job and making a place for himself in high society. The trouble is, Juantxo is a socially awkward idiot and a mamma's boy. He is, however, engaged to a rich and beautiful woman. A few days before his wedding, Juantxo's buddies Konradin and Paco persuade him to go out for a final night of oat-sowing. They are not long at the stag party when Juantxo falls for an exotic prostitute. Unfortunately he loses his fiancee's expensive engagement ring while messing with the hooker. Later, this valuable ring is discovered by Villambrosa, a gangster/pimp/international drug runner. His enemy Souza finds out about the ring and sends his sexy moll Fatima do Espirito Santo, a new age girl who can levitate, to investigate the situation. Meanwhile, Juantxo and friends frantically search for the ring. They have three days to find it and their journey takes them on a riotous road trip that leads them into the depths of the Mafia underworld.

Nerdy momma's boy Juantxo is engaged to be married. Dragged to a party by his friends Konradin and Paco, he loses the wedding ring inside the body of a prostitute. The ring is found later by Villambrosa, a Mafioso who owns the whorehouses along the north coast. Souza, his rival, instructs his sidekick Fatima to check things out. Juantxo and his friends spend the next three days trying to recover the ring and are soon involved in a gangland war where everyone wears shades and black suits and carries an Uzi.

Mommy's boy Konradin is engaged. Dragged to the party by his friends Juantxo and Paco, he loses his expensive wedding ring inside the body of a prostitute. Mafioso whorehouse owner Villambrosa finds the ring. Meanwhile Villambrosa's rival gangster Souza sends 'femme fatale' Fatima to check things out. Konradin with his friends are trying to get the ring back and in the process get involved in the war between gangs..
