    Simply the best Spanish comedy ever

    On the one hand, Manolo Jumilla Pandero, builder and thinker. On the other hand, Benito Lopera Perrote, introducer of drip painting style in this country. And, of course, Protestato Leal Jumilla, aka Tato Mijatovic, private detective from Cachorrilla. Did you know how Benito's father died? Because this is a bar... "Child, take the roscachapa screws tool box to the truck!"
