Kolejna zwariowana komedia twórcy HISZPAŃSKIEGO CYRKU - mistrza czarnego humoru, brawurowej satyry i zjadliwej ironii. Tym razem Álex de la Iglesia bierze na warsztat medialny cyrk i pragnienie sławy, opowiadając historię Roberto - speca od marketingu i autora powszechnie znanego hasła reklamowego Coca-Coli sprzed lat. Dziś jednak nikt o tym nie pamięta, a sfrustrowanego Roberto nikt nie chce zatrudnić. Szansa na zmianę złej passy pojawia się, gdy mężczyzna spada z rusztowania w ruinach rzymskiego amfiteatru w Kartagenie. [opis dystrybutora kino]

In the first century A.D. Carthago Nova is a splendid city of the Roman Empire. The Albino prosperous family is obliged to enter into competition with the mighty Lucio Andro to achieve the award of works. A conflict that will last for several years and that will worsen with the economic decline of the city and the popular revival of gladiatorial games.

In 1992 – 500 years after the beginning of Spain's global empire with the discovery of America – Spain proudly presented itself to the international community as a modern, developed, dynamic country through the Olympic Games in Barcelona and the Expo in Seville. But for filmmaker Luis López Carrasco (1981, Murcia), 1992 was also the year in which the regional parliament building in Cartagena was razed during furious protests against the threatened closure of various local industries. El año del descubrimiento revives this almost forgotten history in a typical Spanish bar in Cartagena, where different generations come together to drink, eat, smoke and talk. Stories from witnesses, demonstrators and strikers from back then and discussions among younger café visitors on themes such as class consciousness, the economic crisis and the role of unions percolate to the surface amidst talk of other life issues.
