Zaragoza, 1981. Alfonso, Jorge, and Salva are trying to make ends meet with the small motorcycle repair shop they've set up in a basement, but their financial situation is desperate. Half-jokingly, half-seriously, they come up with the idea of kidnapping someone and getting a hefty ransom. Transformed from unemployed laborers into criminals, surprisingly, their plan succeeds. They manage to kidnap and hold Enrique Castro "Quini," FC Barcelona striker and one of the stars of the moment, in a makeshift cellar in their mechanic's workshop. The price for his release: one hundred million pesetas.
