Synopsis:
An American delegation is about to visit the small Spanish village of Villar del Río in order to donate some financial aid. At first the villagers and their deaf mayor have no idea how to prepare for these guests but soon they begin to make big plans for a welcome party. It is then that all of the prejudices of Spanish people towards Americans and vice versa come to light.
