2007 · 101 min

A darkly comic caper that mixes murder with neighborhood gentrification, played for absurd laughs and campy charm.

Overview: Victor works in a real estate agency in the well-known Chueca neighborhood of Madrid.

Then, refurbishes and decorates the apartments to sell them to gay couples with high purchasing power. His ultimate objective is to transform Chueca into a kind of London Soho area.
