Summaries

A woman, tired of waiting for her husband to die, seduces a new lover in order to hasten her husband's inevitable demise to collect her inheritance.

Hilarious comedy in which we will meet an older man (Emilio Gutiérrez Caba) who is fascinated by a young girl (Ingrid Rubio) who can't bring him anything good, a slightly hoofed girl with a sinister past and a somewhat simplistic ex-legionnaire (Alberto San Juan) who works disguised as a rabbit for a debt agency. And with them, fate has decided to play and an explosive cocktail out of their lives.

Do all men want the same thing? Nestor, recently widowed, runs a bakery near Barcelona, has a bank account and a bad heart, and swims in the sea every day. He also has a daughter and a two-timing son-in-law. Nestor's maid asks him to hire her 20-something daughter, Maribel, as a shop assistant. Thanks to a libido released by late-night cable movies, he falls for Mari and wants to marry her. She's cynical about men, but she likes the thrill of crime and has a boyfriend, Manolo, who's a debt collector in Barcelona. If she marries Nestor and he dies soon, they'd have plenty of money. What could complicate that?—<[email protected]>
