This DIVISA edition presents the film in stunning high definition, allowing a new generation to appreciate its genius and a long-time audience to rediscover it with breathtaking clarity.The story unfolds in a small provincial town on Christmas Eve. In a gesture of performative charity, a group of idle bourgeois women, in collaboration with a cookware brand, devises a Christmas campaign with the saccharine motto: Sit a poor person at your table. The seemingly noble idea is for the town´s most needy individuals to share Christmas Eve dinner with well-off families, supposedly to enjoy the warmth and affection they otherwise lack. However, this charitable veneer quickly cracks to reveal the hypocrisy, chaos, and dark comedy of the situation. We follow Plácido, a humble man who has just acquired a three-wheeled motorcar for his new job, as he is pulled into the frantic whirlwind of the event. All he wants is to pay the first installment on his vehicle before the deadline, but he finds himself ferrying patrons, pageant queens, and his assigned poor person through a night of increasingly surreal and farcical misadventures.This special Blu-ray edition from DIVISA is the ultimate way to experience Berlang´s intricate direction and masterful use of the sequence shot.
