Will love compromise one man's devotion to heavy rock? That's the all-important question behind this broad comedy from Spain. Isi (Santiago Segura) and Disi (Florentino Fernandez) are two best friends who live in a lower middle-class neighborhood near Madrid. Isi and Disi aren't especially bright, but their devotion to heavy metal is complete and unquestioned, and they wouldn't be caught dead listening to a lame pop singer like, say , Joaquin Sabina. However, one day Isi sees Vane (Jaydy Michel), a beautiful girl who attends a nearby college, and immediately falls head over heels in love.

Human portrait of a generation of filmmakers, born as a result of the Salamanca Conversations (1955), who tried to show throughout the 60s the social reality of our country. Beyond the review of some times, or a description of the facts, we have tried to approach the looks, the memories, the silences, the desires and the struggle of its protagonists. Because in those years Patino, Borau, Camus, Picazo, Summers and Saura set out to do something that no one had asked them to do: a different, critical, innovative and personal cinema, values that we miss today.
