Penélope Cruz and Antonio Banderas are on top form in this hilarious and cynical comedy about the business of film and the people who pursue it. At his 80th birthday party, a brash billionaire, Humberto (José Luis Gómez), decides he must secure his legacy as a benefactor to the world; why not finance a film? So he buys the rights to a hit literary novel, hires an eccentric award-winning director (Cruz) and sits back as she casts a vain movie star (Banderas) and a supercilious theatre actor (Oscar Martinez), waiting for the kudos to flow his way. What could possibly go wrong?
