Al acabar el servicio militar, Benito González, pretende casarse con su novia, pero ésta le ha engañado con su mejor amigo. Bigas Luna describe al típico 'chulito' español, apoyándose en una magnífica interpretación de Javier Bardem.
Benito González works construction in Melilla and dreams big - of building the tallest building in Benidorm, a great phallic symbol of power, González Towers. Over several years, we see Benito's rise and fall, much like the construction of his tower. Through force of personality, he puts the financing together, taking advantage of women who love him - Claudia, a model who wants to be a star, and Marta, the US educated daughter of a banker whose loan Benito needs. Can his force of personality - his huevos de oro - compensate for shoddy building materials, no permits, and undercapitalization? Nature may have her own power and surprises in store for Benito.
"Fallida historia (...) encierra el buen trabajo de Javier Bardem."
