Synopsis

Two men, Ricardo, and his psychotic cohort, Sam, start to rob a bank in a small Spanish town, taking bank employees and customers as hostage in the process. Not satisfied with simply robbing the bank, Sam rapes one of the bank employees and starts to rape a second, Sylvia (Kristel), before Ricardo stops him.

The President of the bank, Don Luis, once a great matador and now a wealthy man, had two sons: the bank robber, Ricardo, who was raised in the United States by his mother, and Julio, himself a matador and Sylvia’s fiance. Ricardo wants revenge for the way that his father treated him and his mother. The father feels guilty for how he treated them. Julio, who views himself as the father’s only son, is threatened by Ricardo’s existence. The bank robbery serves as a crucible which exposes these relationships.
