Plot
Luis (played by Luis Bermejo), an unemployed literature teacher, tries to fulfill the last wish of his 12-year-old daughter Alicia (Lucía Pollán), terminally ill of cancer: owning the official costume of anime series Magical Girl Yukiko. The elevated price of the costume makes Luis get into an unusual and obscure chain of blackmails that involves Damián (José Sacristán) and Bárbara (Bárbara Lennie), changing their lives forever.
Cast
Influence
Carlos Vermut states that there are some little parts in the movie influenced by the popular magical girl series Sailor Moon. However, in terms of story and dark style, they were highly influenced by the anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Carlos stated he liked the story in Madoka, where there is no reward but punishment. He noted "I received inspiration from the dark part of that "Madoka Magica", not just imitating, but matching it with the image I was thinking and putting it in Magical Girl."
