Housewife Gloria lives in Madrid in a tiny apartment with her husband, Antonio—a taxi driver and forger—and her eccentric mother-in-law (who is addicted to bottled water and cupcakes), and her two teenage sons: one a drug dealer, the other gay. Gloria works as a cleaner to scrape together some money for her dysfunctional family and is addicted to pills; her best friend is her neighbour, who goes by the name of Crystal. Antonio harbours a secret passion for a decadent German singer for whom he once worked as a driver in Germany. A writer tries to persuade Antonio to forge Hitler's letters and travels to Germany to meet the singer and invite her to take part in the scheme. Meanwhile, Gloria hands her gay son over to a perverted dentist. Her mother-in-law finds a lizard while out walking with her grandson; they name it "Money" and bring it home. When Gloria gets into an argument with Antonio, she strikes him on the head with a piece of wood, killing him. Now, police detectives are investigating the murder case.

This film forms part of the Extraradis film series.
