Summary
Accompanied by a film crew, the star Carlos Médina arrives in a
small village in southern Spain to make a film. The director
hires several gypsies from the area to appear in the film as extras and
engages an Andalusian beauty, Maria-Luisa, to play the female
lead. In one scene in the film, Carlos and Maria-Luisa’s
characters are married. Unfortunately, the fake wedding is
officiated by the gypsies’ king and is therefore both real and
irrevocable. Carlos is now officially married to
Maria-Luisa, even though both he and she are already engaged...
