Placido

A sharp-edged Christmas satire that exposes the hypocrisy of bourgeois charity through the misadventures of a working-class man caught between competing demands.

In a small Spanish town, during the Christmas holidays, a group of rich old ladies organize a peculiar event that consists of inviting a homeless person to sit down to dinner at their wealthy table. Plácido, a humble worker, is hired by the organizers to participate in a parade with his three-wheeled vehicle, a seemingly simple mission that will not be easy for him to accomplish.
