SYNOPSIS

Carmen (Maribel Verdú) lives on the outskirts of Madrid with her

husband Carlos (Antonio de la Torre). She's an ordinary housewife

who's devoted to her family and he's a construction worker and soccer

fan who lives and breathes for Real Madrid. One day their routine lives

change forever. At a wedding reception, Carmen’s cousin Pepe (José

Mota), an amateur hypnotist, gives a demonstration. He asks for a

volunteer from the audience and a skeptical Carlos agrees. The next

morning Carlos starts behaving strangely - something went wrong and

now he's possessed by a spirit. Together the cousins begin a surreal,

comical investigation to bring him back, while Carmen starts to feel

curiously attracted to her “new” husband.
