Collection of three films co-written and directed by Alex de la Iglesia. The sci-fi black comedy 'Acción Mutante' (1993) is set in a post-apocalytic world where the beautiful rule. A group of people who don't belong to the superficial ruling elite, instead seeing themselves as mutants, join forces to fight back against their oppressors. However, they are prone to executing their plans ineffectively and easily turn against one another which ultimately leads to chaos. In the horror comedy 'The Day of the Beast' (1995), priest Angel Berriartúa (Alex Angulo) attempts to prevent the birth of the Antichrist. He believes this will occur in Madrid at midnight on Christmas Eve and recruits heavy metal fan José María (Santiago Segura) and occult TV show host Professor Cavan (Armando de Razza) to his cause. However, as Christmas draws nearer, Berriartúa becomes convinced that he will have to sacrifice his own soul if he is to succeed. Finally, 'Perdita Durango' (1997) follows Perdita (Rosie Perez) and Romeo (Javier Bardem), two lovers well-matched in temperament. Romeo is a master of bloody voodoo rituals and Perdita is willing to cast her own form of spell on anyone if it will benefit her. Not content with ferrying an illicit cargo of foetuses from Mexico to Las Vegas on behalf of the Mafia, the pair also kidnap an innocent young couple en route. Earmarking one of their hostages for the starring role in a sacrificial ceremony, Romeo and Perdita remain unaware that life on the edge could be about to catch up with them.
