In a small village in Spain, a group of peasants finds themselves caught in a political tangle when they decide to protest against the shortage of resources and the disdain of the authorities. The situation intensifies when an eccentric minister arrives for a visit to inspect the state of the countryside. What begins as a simple inspection quickly turns into a comedy of errors, with the locals trying to impress the politician while hiding the stark reality of their daily lives.
The minister, played by a charismatic actor of the time, is a quirky and somewhat naïve character who is unaware of what he faces in this village full of endearing personalities. Among them stands out a strong woman who fights for the rights of her community, and a young idealist who falls hopelessly in love with her. As events unfold, a lack of communication and misunderstandings lead to hilarious situations, where the peasants attempt to present themselves to the minister as dignified and prosperous, while the reality slips through their fingers.
With a satirical tone that critiques power structures and class relations, the film offers a humorous look at human dignity in the face of bureaucracy. In an unexpected final twist, the peasants come together to confront the situation, demonstrating that the power of the people can change things, even in the most absurd circumstances.
