A pawn shop proprietor buys used goods from desperate locals – as much to play perverse power games as for his own livelihood, but when the perfect rump and a backed-up toilet enter his life, he loses all control.

A character with an obnoxious, meddlesome personality, driven by a desire for control and the pleasure of humiliating others, could make for a bizarre, disturbing and possibly interesting story if it were well constructed and developed. However, this is not the case here, where everything sounds cartoonish, artificial and pretentious. The story is mediocre, totally disastrous and with poorly crafted dialogues. The attempts to create clever situations out of small details end up being ridiculous and embarrassing. In addition, the movie resorts to quick, forced and unfunny jokes, which only reinforce the feeling of embarrassment. The audio quality is one of the worst we've ever seen, the volumes are so uneven that it's often difficult to understand what the characters are saying, while the soundtrack explodes at a disproportionate volume, making the experience even more unpleasant.
