Mario (Arturo Fernandez) and Teresa (Teresa Gimpera) are an unhappy marriage with three children . He works as a vendor and she is the usual Spanish housewife . Mario is a bossy , shouter and grumpy man , while his sacrificed spouse lives for her work and children . One day , Teresa's s friend (Moira Orfei) suggests her she should change her look and hunt for a job to earn money . From now on , Teresa works as businesswomen with certain success and Mario as a houseman . Then , he encounters a frenetic and hostile work at homd, but Mario breaks his leg and things go awry .

It is a so-so picture concerning a botcher husband and his hard-working wife , who agree to change their roles , but things get worse . Funny and fun acting by Arturo Fernandez who decides settle down on his apartment doing housework and enjoyable Teresa Gimpera as the housewife turned succesful clerk . Being regularly written by Pedro Masó, Rafael J. Salvia, and Pedro Lazaga himself. The film develops the classical formula : ¨Fish out water¨ , as a businessman leaves his employment and begins working at home , once there , he only encounters a lot of problems that attempts to resolve , as well as his troublesome family and his demanding children. This film is made to entertain , and this movie , especially for a good time and a pleasant entertainment and is also pretty darn funny . Sitting in a strange middle ground between the completely absurd and the stylishly agreeable . Showing the regular family of the 60s and the peculiar society during the Francoist period , including frivolity , egoism , duplicity and deceits . There are some nice jokes in the film and the cast , playing eccentric characters , make a cosy fit . The flick interweaves fun comedy along with a social criticism about the peculiar Spain of the 60s . This film packs customary images of the social life from the sixties , nutty situations , but it especially contains catching touches of humor , tongue-in-cheek and irony ; adding the typical Spanish idiosyncrasy . The film is full of familiar faces and cameos , such as : Juanjo Menendez , the Italian Moira Orfei , Francisco Camoiras , Barta Bari , Aurora Redondo , Erasmo Pascual , José María Tasso , Jose Sepulveda , Rafael Hernández and , of course , Rafaela Aparicio as a lively mute maid . And evocative and catching musical score by Antón García Abril , adding some pop songs with soundtrack typical of the sixties .
