Comedy
Gay men have a reputation world-over for moving into run-down areas and transforming them into real estate paradise. Madrid's Chueca district is their latest target. The only problem it’s populated by little old ladies who refuse to sell.
Mysterious and sexy real estate agent Victor takes matters into his own hands, systematically killing off the grannies and instating queer couples in their place.
When adorable bear couple Rey and Leo inherit their neighbour's flat, Rey promptly moves his overbearing mother, Antonia, into the apartment. Both Leo who doesn’t get along with his in-law, and Victor who will not let the apartment slip through his fingers, try to get rid of her.
It’s up to an eccentric police detective and her sexually confused son to solve the case of the murdered grannies before Antonia is the next victim.
