In search of prestige, a self-obsessed billionaire enlists the best of the best to make a film about his life: notable director Lola Cuevas, Hollywood star Félix Rivero and theatre thespian Ivan Torres. The resulting clash of egos makes for a metatextual satire that is just as funny as it is sharp, a rare combination of witty writing and incisive acting that sees Penélope Cruz, Antonio Banderas and Oscar Martínez (of Wild Tales fame) all in top form.
