SYNOPSIS In 1995, Spain had an undisputed idol: Chiquito de la Calzada. His language permeated the streets, television studios, and even official speeches. Politicians, athletes, and the King himself bowed to the comedian who had revolutionized a generation. But one night, the most-watched program on private television decided to pull off a masterstroke: introducing Lucas Grijander, a character eerily similar to Chiquito. So similar, in fact, that he soon began to take his place.
