In economic crisis, five friends spend a hot summer in Madrid hoping to fare better in September, the month in which reactivates the city and the job offers. The finding on a plot of a bag with 20 million pesetas in bills of the old pesetas change the course of events ...
“One day, Luz, a secretary in a construction company, finds in the ruins of a house a bag with 20 millions pesetas in the old peseta bills. She keeps it a secret, but four quite needy friends manage to find out. As they are told that pesetas can be indefinitely exchanged for Euros at the Bank of Spain, they decide to change a few bills just to see if it really works. They get easy money right away. So everybody returns to Luz hassling her with more money needs. But Luz is worried that the money could be the life savings of some old man and decides to find out who’s the owner. What none of them can imagine is that the money doesn’t belong to any old man but comes from a darker source."

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
