Madrid 1961. Ana Mari is a spinster, lame, a follower of Franco and an
instructor in the Female Section. Following Franco's orders, she begins
to work as a maid at Ava Gardner's home with a mission of spying on her.
For this, she must pretend to be married to Manolo, a hustler who will
become the American actress' chauffeur. Manolo tries to take advantage
of his position for his dodgy dealings with gypsy clans, and ends up
involving Ana Mari and her schizophrenic brother, Floren. Little by
little, this leads to an intimate relationship between them. Together
with a young maid, Pilar, they will serve during the continuous parties
that Ava and her circle enjoy in the Dolce Vita reserved for the elite
in Madrid. Parties that will create growing tensions with her downstairs
neighbors, none other than General PerĂ³n and his wife, recently exiled
from Argentina.
