From the moment Hollywood sent its first story out into the world, millions of people latched onto the feverish dream of a different, better life. But perhaps nowhere was the conflict between lusterless reality and the scintillating shine of Hollywood stars so palpable as in the Andalusian town of Tabernas, the location where film studios shot one cult film after another for decades.

But when news suddenly spreads about the production of a new star-studded blockbuster, people dust off their lost hope. A humorous documentary fairy tale about escaping from the oppressive mundanity of destitute lives.
