zu den Ticketszu dem KalenderAcapulco in the year of the Olympics in 1968: the corpses of wrestlers keep washing up on the beach. Only one person can solve this case: Gloria, a lady from the best and richest home, who is also a superhero with a mouse phobia in her spare time, her costume consisting of a purple bikini, a cape and opera gloves. Gloria also soon has an inkling of who could be behind the strange murders… A pop art for the masses blend of lucha libre and espionage thriller steeped in charming mad scientist monster horror action. Leading actress Maura Monti is also a superhero in real life: disgusted by her luxury life as a pulp cinema star and producer’s wife, she got divorced and joined the Zapatistas to work as a teacher at a village school.
