In this fast-paced, twisty caper flick, small-time con man Ernesto (Ernesto Alterio) hooks up with veteran swindler Manco (Manuel Alexandre) and world-class grifter Federico (Federico Luppi) to pull off a scam that earns the trio a big payday. But things start to go south when Ernesto's former lover (Victoria Abril) enters the picture with a proposal that could net the chiselers millions. The question is, who's bamboozling whom?
