Synopsis

Two old friends that had not seen each other for years arrange a dinner date. Their respective partners could hardly be more opposed. One is a policeman, an expert in crowd demobilization and protests, and he has just returned home from losing his cool and shooting a protester in the eye with a rubber bullet. The other is a left-wing militant youth just out of the hospital, after having been shot in the face during a protest. And thus begins the dark comedy of the year, exploring and turning upside down the austerity ambience that dominates contemporary Spain.
