 Four pathetic people live in a small village thanks to the kindness of Don Toni, an old crock with a dark past, who lets them live in his house. In spite of the group s precarious economic situation, everything seems quite calm until Don Toni decides to leave the house to live in an old people s home. Suddenly they find themselves out on the street. But then Marisa appears. She s the booking office clerk at the Teatro Principal in the nearest town and she suggests that they should rob the box office takings the following weekend when Star Wars Episode I is being shown. After considering the question carefully, the quartet decide to carry out the robbery, even though they are up against a powerful enemy; their honour.
