Once upon a time, Juan Pérez, the poorest of the poor, reaches fame in a fluke accident in what seemed to be an attempt of suicide, to protest against the government and his social condition. The Ministry of Economy, surrounded by the scandal in which he is blamed by Pérez's decision, decides to reward him changing his life giving him a little house, a car and a job. But when other poor people (Pérez's close friends) find out about his reversal of fortune, decide to imitate him faking suicide attempts in different buildings in Mexico City. The Ministry of Economy, terrified by the glance of having a plague of beggars, decides to declare poverty a crime and hence finish for once and for all with all the poor in the country. Pérez ends up behind bars. Three years later, Pérez is released and goes back to his previous social condition, but this time, aware of having one day as a rich man is better than a life as poor, he will do anything to get out of his misery... And he will manage to do so!

| User Reviewilse znada q ver con la realidad en mexico ...jajaja super recomendable |
| User ReviewRoman RExcelente, al estilo de la Ley de Herodes, mejorado con el tiempo. |
| User ReviewClaudia MAnother politically savvy movie that continues to in Estrada's own way keep the government on it's toes and inform them that not everything is working out and something still needs to be done about the state of affairs of the ever present poor. The humor is incredibly dark, and it often caters to the sense of comedy that we mexicans tend to find entertaining. It is necessarily depressing because it is trying to bring to the public conscience the evils that the Neo-liberal tendency to trust numbers without actual backgrounding can cause. |
