Synopsis

Barcelona, 1968. Rufo Batalla receives his first order as a plump in a newspaper: to cover a prince's wedding in exile with a beautiful young lady from high society. Coincidences and misunderstandings lead him to build friendship with the prince, who entrusts him, among other things, to write the chronicle of his peculiar history. The oppressive atmosphere of the grey Franco Spain will soon be small for Rufo, who will travel to New York with little money, great hopes and the diffuse goal of doing something exciting with his life.
