Fermín (Fernando Colomo), a veteran painter at the twilight of his career, has begun to suffer from a trembling hand. On the verge of ruin, he is forced to move into the studio he shares with his friend Javier de Juan in an old garage. There, his son Pablo (Pablo Colomo), also a painter, arrives after a long journey to India to live with him. Their opposing views on art and life will soon set them against each other. Pepa (Carmen Machi), Pablo’s mother and Fermín’s ex, makes them a proposal: to enter a competition to reinterpret Bosch’s “The Garden of Earthly Delights”, which could solve their financial troubles.

Biography

Fernando Colomo (born 1946, Madrid) is a Spanish film producer, screenwriter, director and actor. At the age of seventeen, he made his first short film (untitled, on 8 mm film) with a budget of 250 pesetas, financed by ten classmates. He studied at the Higher Technical School of Architecture in Madrid (ETSAM). At the same time, in 1970, he entered the Official Film School (EOC), specializing in set design, and made the short film Sssouffle, which won first prize at the Alcalá de Henares Festival. He graduated from the Faculty of Architecture in 1972 and after his first work, he made several short films on his own.

Colomo is considered to be the father of the so-called comedia madrileña. From time to time, he also plays small roles in his own films and those of other directors.
