Two misfit movie buffs, Benito (Santiago Segura) and Carolo (Pablo Carbonell), realize that watching movies to escape their drab, everyday lives is not enough for them--they want to MAKE a movie! So they write a musical and acquire an 8mm camera...but they need a star. They approach their favorite actress, Amanda Castro (Ariadna Gil), who is young and beautiful, but whose career has become marred by drug abuse and tempestuousness. She declines, but that is not enough to deter Benito and Carolo, who kidnap her and take her to a house in the woods to begin filming their masterpiece. This unusual Spanish comedy/drama was written and directed by David Trueba.
