Plot
Much like the film The Illusion Rides the Tram, directed by Buñuel two years later, focuses on a tram ride, this film is essentially about a bus ride.
When Oliverio's mother is dying, she wants to quickly write a will so that the youngest son gets his share and the two older brothers don't collect everything. Because his mother is too weak to travel, Oliverio is supposed to bring a notary from the city to her. So he takes the bus, but unforeseen events constantly interrupt the journey. These interruptions affect all aspects of life; a birth as well as a funeral and a breakdown when the bus hits a river and breaks down. The most pleasant companion for Oliverio on this journey is the seductive Raquel. In the end, Oliverio returns to his mother, who has died in the meantime, without the notary, but can still secure his share of the inheritance by means of a fingerprint under the will she wants.
