Miki is an actor disguised as a clown who is on the run from the police in a shopping mall. He accumulates failed auditions and romantic disappointments while barely getting by in a tiny attic. What no one knows is that Miki hides a terrible secret in his fridge that could ruin his plans for success. To get rid of it, he turns to his friend Loreto, an eccentric crochet artist with green hair, and Butcher, a butcher from Cádiz with an explosive temperament and a sharp sense of humor. Together, they embark on a chaotic plan full of chases and misunderstandings, where this dysfunctional trio tries to find a way out of a situation that becomes more absurd the more they try to fix it.
