A darkly comic, sensual Spanish drama about desire, infidelity, and class conflict wrapped in the absurdist symbolism of ham, bullfighting, and lingerie.
José Luis has a cushy corporate job at the lingerie factory his mom owns. After he falls in love and proposes to Silvia, a beautiful laborer on the underwear assembly line, his mom enlists Raul, a potential underwear model and would-be bullfighter, to seduce Silvia.
