The poor, they’re so ugly. They’re always there begging, moaning, grumbling and complaining. Proles don’t have money ? Well, they should get a job ! But no, they prefer to be jealous of the rich, continuing to look like stains on the landscape and preventing the enjoyable digestion of black caviar by those who’ve deserved it. But why so much hate towards those who have their pockets fully loaded ?

Not surprising that Spanish genre stalwart Filmax bought it for international distribution.
