¡Malditos terrícolas!
The old rock stars don't have it easy. And if you don't believe this, try telling it to Iván Uturría. Forty years old, his life is a shambles. He's been fired from a job he hates, his girlfriend has chucked him out and to top it all off, no one knows how to pronounce his surname right. Iván settles down in the house of the only friends he's got left, waiting for a solution to fall from the sky. But what actually comes from the sky is something completely different: an alien invasion. When panic takes over Madrid, the scarcely talented and even less heroic inhabitants must attempt to hold their own. J. Olloqui parodies the classic tales of extraterrestrial invasion in this version that is not at all mythical or glamorous, yet catastrophically funny.
