Set in a provincial Spanish town, Blanco (Javier Bardem), the seemingly benevolent proprietor of a company producing industrial scales (sexy), is preparing the factory for a visit from local businesses expected to present Blanco’s company a prestigious award.

Everything is near perfect for the visit until an ex-employee crashes the party.

 Blanco’s task is to address the ex-employees issues while crossing all ethical boundaries, all in the name of winning a trophy. Bueno!
