Spain's forgotten youth-gang flick: sexy thieves vs. the olds, but make it tragic.
A gang of criminals, composed entirely of young people, bases its unique fun on stealing from rich elders with the help of the charms of one of the members of the band, Pepi (Nadiuska). They are misunderstood young people looking for an assimilation of society.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Cine quinqui emerged post-Franco as Spain's raw answer to Italian neorealism — working-class kids, real streets, no happy endings.
Nadiuska became an international B-movie fixture; this was her rare Spanish star vehicle before the exile to Italian exploitation.
