A social satire narrated as a fairy tale. Once upon a time, there was a man by name Juan Pérez. An enormous misunderstanding causes Juan, the poorest among the poor to be given the title of national hero for planning a supposed demonstration against poverty and precarious conditions of life. The act causes a tremendous public commotion and Juan sees his life turn topsy-turvy when the Minister of the Economy himself decides to allot him a home, car, and a job. However, this political gesture produces a national wave of opportunistic attempted suicides and causes the government to declare poverty a crime to the extent that Juan loses all and is consigned to prison for three bitter years - except that now, he has decided to do anything to be rich again. Damián Alcázar is an actor in Las Vueltas del Citrillo and Only God Knows, also shown at the 30th Mostra.
