In a TV show, totally by accident, Bruno and Nino become the most popular
comedian couple in Spain. As time passes, they become stars and things begin to
change. Nino falls in love with a political activist, Laura. But one night when
he comes home he finds Laura in bed with – Bruno! Nino "snaps" and starts hating
Bruno so much he cannot see him anymore. Also, Bruno feels the same –he simply
cannot stand his former colleague. In spite of that they still appear together
in the show, and their hatred is the inspiration for great black humor. The more
they hate each other, the more audience loves them. This is so funny that one of
them has to die - of laughing!
