Belinda sings lead in an all-girl pop group.  Ruggedly handsome Juan Antonio is the loud-mouthed macho manager of a soccer team on a losing streak (with sexy Liberto Rabal, star of AlmodÛvar's Live Flesh, as his star player).  Fate finds them at the same hotel, coincidentally run by Belinda's meek but well-off fiancÈ, on the weekend Belinda will give her last performance before settling down to her wifely duties.

  When these two opposites accidentally crash heads on separate late-night swims in the hotel pool, uno, dos, tres  - they wake up in the hospital after near-death experiences having switched bodies.  The resulting gender-bending hi-jinx are a hoot to watch and put the actors through some serious changes. Belinda's butch swagger and skirt chasing habits (stealing kisses with her gal pals and a tryst with Juan Antonio's ex-wife, a professional psychic), and Juan Antonio's transformation into the softest, most understanding soccer coach the world has ever known, are only half the fun.  This Spanish farce, a bed-hopping comedy of errors and an hilarious send-up of machismo, is the perfect late-night finale for our Saturday line-up. In Spanish with English subtitles.
