The problem is that [[GoneHorriblyRight he does it so well]], however, that soon he becomes something of a second in command to Malamadre. And everything gets worse from there. Very, very, ''very'' worse.
Though taking place in a prison, the movie does not follow most of the tropes associated with the prison genre. It won 22 awards, including the Goya award for Best Spanish Film.
