Three old schoolmates, who in their time as students had formed a kind of secret society called The Black Hand, in order to embitter teachers' lives, meet again years later with very different lives.

The reunion of the three friends will make the society of La Mano Negra revive.

Bernabe (José Sacristán) works as an artistic director for a publicity firm but his avocation is fawning after his bosses, sleeping with whomever might advance his career, and ignoring his wife. Life continues on in this vein until he meets a young model whom he invites up to his boss's temporarily vacant country house, pretending the house belongs to him. Not very far away, bulldozers and other machinery are clearing the beautifully wooded area so construction can start on an amusement park. Little does Bernabe realize that his potential new conquest is a seriously fanatical environmental advocate, and she arrives at the house with friends, gets Bernabe high and "out of it," and then she and her friends proceed to trash the construction machinery. Once Bernabe comes around again, he finds out what has happened, loses heart for his planned sexual escapade, and begins to appreciate his wife for the first time.

Ah, the Mediterranean! The sun, the sea, the beach… a real treat for us humans as spring approaches. But would you believe that beneath the beach towels lies a whole little world we’d never suspect? Discreet creatures that make the best of the human presence as best they can. At the end of winter, whilst snow and cold still rage across the rest of Europe, biodiversity comes to life. With the arrival of warmer weather, another creature also makes its grand return: Homo sapiens. Clumsy, disrespectful, wasteful: our resident Sapiens wants to make the most of his holiday, but all around him the world is changing: the climate is becoming drier, the waters are warming, some species are disappearing, whilst others are taking their place. Guided by scientists, this walk explores a complex and fragile ecosystem – the natural world on our doorstep – which is at the mercy of the vagaries of the climate and the major upheavals of our century.
