A pharmacist prescribes himself a very unorthodox treatment for his moral rigidity.
In a small provincial town on the Spanish coast, a conflict arises between prostitutes and a group of devout women, annoyed by the presence of prostitutes in their locality. The tension is increasing and the prostitutes are asking Carmelo, the local pharmacist, to intercede for them. He, who goes out with Asunción, one of the women facing the heteros, refuses. To convince Carmelo, prostitutes force him to have sex with them. Due to the pleasure of this experience he changes his mind.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released during Spain's 'destape' era, when Franco-era censorship collapsed and filmmakers rushed to include nudity as political freedom. The title itself mocks the word 'consensus' that politicians used while society fractured.
Helga Liné was a German-Spanish star who played villains in Jess Franco films; this rare comedic lead came after she tired of being typecast as evil seductresses. She reportedly found the pharmacist character 'unconvincing as a heterosexual.'
