Plot[edit]

Married couple Miro Pereira and Balbina Santos run a bar named "Café Suizo" in a small Galician town after coming back from living in Switzerland. Miro, who is a greedy, lazy, not very clean, whiner and clumsy man, continually devises plans together with his brother-in-law Antón to go hunting, fishing, earn easy money or work even less than the little he does, which never turn out as expected.
