In a small Spanish town, a group of old ladies decides to celebrate Christmas Eve with a "seat a poor man at your table" dinner: each wealthy household of the town will have a homeless person dining with them that night. The celebrations also include a parade, and in its midst is Plácido, the humble owner of a three-wheeler, whose family is forced to live in a public lavatory because they lack the money to pay rent, and who must pay the second bill on his vehicle before midnight or else he will lose it.
A happily married woman is distinguished by her ability to lie constantly. Her husband reproaches her that she is unoccupied, and that is where her liking for lies comes from. One night, the maid opens the door to her boyfriend who, together with a partner, intends to raid the house.
