In the early Spanish Civil Postwar in Madrid during the most hard times of the Franco dictatorship a group of secondrate players try to get out of their wretched lives taking advantage of the artistic caprices of the son of a rich man who supports the regime They try to stage a Prewar zarzuela a sort of Spanish operetta La Corte Del Faraón which ironically thirty years later is too obscene for the regime censorship They finally manage to perform the zarzuela but end up in the police station where they confirm that justice depends on which side are you on
