Plot
Checco is a wealthy, vain, and superficial heir, engaged to the Mexican model Martina. He owes his wealth to his father's 60 years of work; his father is currently ill. A few days before his 50th birthday, his daughter Cristal disappears. After being informed by his ex-wife Linda (a former model reduced to an actress without roles) and her partner, the Palestinian writer and director Tarek, who lives an alternative lifestyle, Checco gets in touch with Corina, Cristal's best friend. He takes her to a luxury restaurant while she is on a diet and tempts her (he receives lavish dishes, she light ones). In the end Corina gives in, and Checco discovers that the girl has left to take part in the Camino de Santiago, using a fake document because she is underage. Checco reaches her, but Cristal wants nothing to do with him. Undeterred, Checco keeps following her, but during the journey his Ferrari is destroyed by bulls during the San Fermín festival in Pamplona, and his daughter rips off his toupee, turning him into the idiot of the day. Checco would like to go back home, but at the insistence of Alma, the leader of the group of pilgrims, he decides to continue the journey in order to try to rebuild his relationship with his daughter, beginning to give up various comforts.
