Una familia decente

Juan (Didier Bezace) and Julia (Stefania Sandrelli) are a mature and conventional marriage. Juan is shy and vulnerable, opera enthusiast and, above all, is recognized worldwide as a chess grandmaster. Julia is the author of crime and horror novels and is now writing a biography of Humphrey Bogart. When the couple is separated for a week, something changes in their lives.

Not published writer, a sculptor who does not expose, a filmmaker who does not make movies ... amateur and professional around anything. His daughter, which is to care, is the only one who understands. A film producer who bombarded daily with an overview, each more extravagant reproaches his fantasy and challenges to look carefully for 24 hours whichever comes around to check that everything that happens follows a rigorous logic .

Tony wants to carry out a perfect robbery and get a lot of money during the celebration of the 24 Hours of Montjuic, a motorcycle race. To accomplish this, he counts with the complicity of Peter, a runner who wants to switch to professional level. Everything is carefully planned, but at the last moment a crime is committed and Peter is trapped in the house of the victim unable to get out as the gate has been locked. The only way to help Peter is that Tony gets a copy of the key that Carmen has, the girl who took care of the victim, before she returns home.
