Synopsis

In the present, aging director Luis Bunuel is pitched a script about 3 men in search of a legendary table brought to Spain from the Ottoman Empire. The plot gradually unfolds in his mind's eye: It is the 30s and he, along with best friends and associates Federico Garcia Lorca and Salvador Dali, set out on an adventure through the Toledo underworld to find the table, which will endow whomever finds it with the power to see the present, past and future. Guided in their quest by a series of mythic characters, Bunuel, Lorca and Dali navigate their way through the stunning streets and vistas of Toledo. Fully aware that they are actors portraying three great artists, they consistently engage in witty examinations of the curious events that take place around them.
