After the death of Arturo Viaplana, his childrens attend the reading of his will in the hope of inheriting his great fortune. What they don’t know is that their late father has not chosen an heir, but has devised a kind of posthumous joke as his last will.
To inherit his estate, the Viaplana brothers will have to overcome a series of tests in a macabre game that will bring them face to face with the family’s best-kept secret.
