Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Pepe Rodríguez is preparing to go with his family. A simple office worker, although very fond of delusions of grandeur to present himself to others as a winner, the man has been left alone in Madrid to work during the hot summer while his wife and children spend their holidays in the mountains. But both during their journey and upon his arrival at the summer house they have rented, he will have to invent fanciful explanations about the bruise he has on one eye and which is related to his desperate attempts to have an extramarital affair.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | "Estar de 'Rodríguez'" (loosely "stay as a 'Rodríguez') is a well-known idiom in Spain, meaning a husband who stays behind at home to keep working during summertime while his wife and children go on a vacation. Several sources point to this movie, which happens to have that very plot and a title character called Rodríguez, as the origin of the idiom, but the fact that the book "Panorama español contemporáneo", published one year earlier (1964), already includes the phrase used with its full meaning and without any cinematic connection, shows that it is actually the other way around: the movie's concept and title just come from the already existing idiom. The actual origin is most likely that "Rodríguez" is kind of a stereotypical office worker's last name in Spain, and since at least in that era the most common thing for bosses was to call their male employees by their last name (without the "Mr."), to "stay as a 'Rodríguez'" would be to stay where one would not be called by his first name as a spouse would, but by his last name, that is, at one's workplace.
