Sinopsis
(All Movie Guide)
A pair of pink-collar
workers short on cash decide to try a new part-time job — bank robbery — in
this comedy. Lola (Ariana
Ozores) and Silvia (Maribel
Verdu) are two working-class women who are also best friends. Lola works
on the cleaning crew at a bank and sometimes does odd jobs for her friend
Maite (Carmen
Maura), while Silvia is a beautician who is expecting a baby. Lola was
once married to Gustavo (Jaime
Pujol), a policeman, and while he wants to give their relationship another
try, Lola isn't interested. His family hasn't been on good terms with Lola
since the divorce, and one day they decide to evict her from the house she's
been renting from Gustavo. Short on money and with few options, Lola and
Silvia get the idea to rob the bank where Lola works. While Lola has access to
the keys, she discovers the bank's funds aren't where she thought they were;
determined to find out where the money is hidden, Silvia helps groom Lola into
a sexy temptress so she can lure information from the bank's manager (Juan
Gea) and give the robbery another try.
