Rafael is the best salesman in the biggest department store of Madrid. He is a fascinating man; all his colleagues fell in love for him. He tries to live high-standard life. He is definitively ambitious and aspires to be the new head of sales at his floor. But he has to beat Don Antonio the best salesman in the man wearing sector. Competition gets harder and harder, till Rafael kills Don Antonio! Lourdes, the ugliest woman in the store, unexpectedly helps Rafael to hide the corpse, but her help isn't for free. Rafael soon will start considering a new crime. A new perfect crime. Written by 1felco

Trivia

Several of the clowns and journalists in the last scene are really fans of Álex de la Iglesia. They were invited by the director himself for supporting him through his official website. See more »

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: The inspector pulls Don Antonio's bridgework out of the hot furnace on a shovel, picks it off the shovel with tweezers, and drops it into a plastic bag. It should have melted the bag! See more »

Quotes

Crazy Credits

Initial credits are written on different papers which are sometimes on the
wrong order and then rearrange (Fernando Tejero initially appears as
Fernando Rojete; see Dick Van Dyke credit in 'Mary Poppins'). The title
initially appears as Crimen Perfecto, and then rearranges to Crimen
Ferpecto. See more »
