This vicious crime thriller tells the story of Estefania Sánchez (Fanny Cottençon), known as Fanny Pelopaja for her bleach blond hair. She is a cold-blooded woman who has served several prison sentences for petty crimes. For years, she has been waiting to take revenge from a corrupt and brutal police officer, Andrés, known as "el Gallego” (Bruno Cremer), their relationship, is the emotional axis around which the story evolves. They not only hate each other, but also are somehow in love. Years ago, Andrés killed Fanny's lover and brutally assaulted her knocking out her teeth. Because of his violation of police regulations in his abusive treatment of Fanny, Andrés was thrown out of the police force and now works as a guard for an armored car company. One day Fanny is told that Andrés is in Barcelona again, and she drops everything to go to the city with a few friends and rob the armored car that he is guarding. Her plans work out, and she exacts revenge on Andrés, but does not kill him. A mistake, because he is soon back in full force against her and her companions -- and the gore and brutality continue with no hope of resolution, not even at the end of the film.
