"Like the ferris wheel that serves as the setting for one of its climactic scenes , Ferpect Crime is a bright, gaudy and tremendously satisfying ride." - New York Times
Iconoclastic, irreverent (and prolific) Spanish director Alex de la Iglesia (The Day of the Beast, Perdita Durango, La Communidad) returns with this
hilarious new black comedy.
Guillermo Toledo (The Other Side of the Bed) stars as Rafael, the Don Juan of a big Madrid department store – an ambitious ladies department
clerk who longs to become the Floor Manager. Rafael will do anything to ace out the competition for the Floor Manager position. His chief rival? Don
Antonio (Luis Varela), manager of the Men's Department. The two face off, and their total sales for the day will determine who gets the promotion.
The sexy salesgirls take turns spending the evening with Rafael in the department store after hours. He wines and dines them in fancy clothes borrowed
from the racks followed by wild sex in the beds in the furniture department, but Rafael fantasizes about a perfect life of refinement, elegance and
sophistication. His worst nightmare is to live a mediocre life surrounded by kids and curtains that match the sofa. But how to reach his goal? Then a
terrible event turns his world upside down and he finds himself contemplating - the perfect crime.
