During the Spanish Civil War, a group of comics lightens the days of the Republican troops. Tired of life in the front lines, they make their way to Valencia, accidentally entering enemy land and falling prisoner.
A platoon of mismatched soldiers crosses the front-line to steal the bull that the enemy is to fight on the village's patron-saint's day. In addition to ruining the nationals' celebration, they want to butcher the animal to feed their famished troops. They get caught in the procession and must go through a series of funny and not-so-funny incidents before they can return to their side.
Jaume Canivell, Catalan manufacturer of mechanical porters, accompanies his lover on a hunt to relate to important people. The farm where it is organized is full of strange characters.
