Catrasca (Jorge Porcel) is a man who works in a restaurant and in his spare time helps in a children's home. His problem is that he carries a family tradition that makes him cause catastrophes in his path, one of which takes his boss (Adolfo García Grau) to the hospital. Upon leaving the hospital, Catrasca is run over by Graciela (Graciela Alfano), the daughter of Professor Galíndez (Osvaldo Terranova). This is how he meets this professor, who has a formula that says he will be the salvation of humanity, so he is the object of persecutions by villains such as Dr. Linda Winters (Moria Casán).

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedy around the clash between the protagonist's harmless appearance and the sheer scale of chaos he triggers. It relies heavily on physical humor and situational gags, exploring how a single clumsy act can spiral into a chain reaction of absurdity.

Those who tire of subtlety will find joy in the predictable yet escalating calamities, where each mishap amplifies the farce. What lingers after is the feeling of undemanding, lighthearted fun — MovieFinder Editorial
