Joel Joan, perhaps better known for his politics than for his acting, chooses here to laugh at himself very cleverly. Taking as his cue the making of a film about General Moragas and the events of 1714, now so popular because of the Catalan independence movement Joan supports, he narrates the adventures of 'Joel Joan', a mediocre actor in pursuit of international fame as he wavers between the good and the bad girl (both actresses in his film).
