So when he is offered to leave his placid retirement for a few weeks to accompany Amelia Tomás, a candidate for president, on the electoral tour, the beast within him stretches and acts. Throughout a journey that will take him to all kinds of cities and towns in Spain, his mission will be to load the speeches of the candidate with dynamite, spray her rivals with dialectical gasoline and set fire to everything. step from it. And it is that in this game competing is the least: the only acceptable thing is to win. Win, win and win.
