A literary contest organized by a group of nuns, attracts some Spanish writers, with inflated "egos", including a woman who writes poems completely naked, a blind man with strange sex fantasies and an alcoholic man who used to write quite well.
The film, directed by an old Spanish cinema director depicts the derelict, skeletal Spanish literary world.
The film includes some surrealistic, ironic & extravagant gags.
The young woman writer wins the award an escapes from the blind and jealous writer (her couple, who wished the prize), in order to go to a big party.
The metaphors and images are pure old fashioned Spain.
