When your marriage has you on the brink and your bank account in red, it´s time to rob a Cash-for-Gold shop. That´s the last-ditch decision made by a group of desperate guys led by divorced dad JOSÉ. Unfortunately for all, José never lets his kiddownand the day of the break-in is his day of the week with his 8-year old son. Looks like little Sergio will have to tag along. They make it out of the shop with a bag full of 25,000 gold wedding rings only to find their getaway car has disappeared:ANTONIO´s wife had to go shopping.They flag down a cab driven by Manuel, another victim of a marriage that leaves plenty to be desired. So do they run south to Morocco? Not easy getting through with a cab... Looks like it’s north to France, especially with José´s promise to Sergiothatthey´ll go live in Disneyland. Things get even more complicated when 8:30pm comes and José doesn´t drop Sergio off at his ex- wife’s as expected. She takes it to the police, but goes looking for Sergio herself when they don’t take it seriouslyenough.Meanwhile, the 25,000 gold rings become a real curse when the guys enter the impenetrable forests of Basque Country, home to ancient covens and witchery. It´s poetic justice time for their failures with the opposite sex. They run head-on with ahordeofcrazed women who feed on human flesh. Trapped in a mysterious mansion, the witches try to seize the rings at all cost and to rip out our heroes´ souls to boot. Poor guys, they made their bed and now they´ll have to sleep in it. And all they wantedwasalittle peace and quiet.
