Plot
Julián (Álex González), Asterix (Javier Mancebo) and Luis (Miguel Ángel Silvestre) belong to a neo-Nazi ideology group led by Solís (Javier Bardem). Together with other members of the group, they attack everything considered the enemy with threats and beatings. Julián frequents Pedro's (Hovik Keuchkerian) gym and asks him to teach him to box. Carlomonte (Carlos Bardem) distrusts Julián but starts training him. Alyssa (Judith Diakhate), a young mulatto with whom Julián falls in love, also works at the gym.
