A gay chef's past comes back to haunt him in this upbeat farce from Spanish director Nacho Garcia Velilla. Running a successful restaurant in a hip neighborhood of Madrid, openly gay chef Maxi (Javier Camara) enjoys his life to the full, but that is about to change. In a past life, Maxi fathered several children while he was trying to deny his true sexuality in a phony marriage. Now, when his children suddenly arrive on his doorstep, eager to get acquainted with their long-lost dad, Maxi quickly realises that if he's ever going to have a relationship with his children, he's going to have to let them in on his remarkable lifestyle change.
