Film Synopsis

For several years, the number of souls that have been admitted to the entrance exam in paradise has continued to decline, whilst the numbers arriving in the other place have shown an inexorable increase.  One day, the guardians of paradise receive a desperate please from a mother to save the soul of her son, Many Chaves, a boxer with a turbulent past.  They send one of their best agents down to Earth, Lola Nevado, to pose as the boxer's wife and return Many back to the straight and narrow.  When the secret services in Hell hear of this, they are far from pleased and send one of their own agents, Carmen Ramos, to ensure that Many ends up where he deserves...
