Five desperate women, one slippery con artist, and a cult that might eat your soul. Spanish cinema at its weirdest.
Violeta is willing to do anything to find her missing kid. Elena keeps a strange secret. Lola wants to settle her debts with the past. Juana needs someone who loves her unconditionally and Enriqueta just looks for someone who makes her laugh. These five women have something in common, all of them are linked to Diamond Flash, a mysterious character who will change their lives forever.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released during Spain's economic crisis, the film weaponizes fantasy tropes against austerity reality—Vermut called it 'a superhero movie where nobody has powers except poverty.'
The Diamond Flash costume was a repurposed Mexican lucha libre outfit Vermut found in a Madrid flea market; the actor improvised most of his prophet speeches after the director refused to write them.
