Ventura Pons Que t'hi jugues Mari Pili?
What's your bet, Marie?

Sole, Marie and Marta are three nearly twenty year old girls that share an apartment in the pre-Olympic city of Barcelona. The first girl, Sole (BLANCA PAMPOLS), is a brillant economics student that combines naivety and bashfulness with a slightly overweight condition. She likes comfortable and informal clothes and, above all, not to be treated like a child. Marie (MERCE LLEIXA), on the other hand, is a wide-awake, flexible, feline, aggressive, tender girl that depends on the opportunity, but is never lacking opportunities. She is the cashier at an American-style hamburger place where she earns just enough to pay for her part of the rent, fill the tank of her Vespino and buy an occasional pair of elastic pants designed by a schizophrenic. Her greatest characteristic is her wild black hair and wicked eyes that give her a look of the femme fatale that she actually isn't: under the shallow of aggressiveness there is a person full of tenderness. And last but not least, Marta (NURIA HOSTA) is a very attractive, independent and dynamic blond with iniciative and an urge to impruve, all of which are very useful qualities if, as in her case, one has reached the position of sales manager of a chain of jewellery stores at scarcely twenty four. As earning money does not imply any special effort for her, what really stimulates her is proving to herself and others that she is a natural winner. And to do this, she doesn't hesitate to put herself to the test at the slightest opportunity. And if the opportunity doesn't arise, she invents it.

Our story commences one summer morning when the three girls discover, only too late, that the frozen patties must be fried in oil. While cleaning the kitchen, Sole complains about the complexity of the ritual of finding a mate: remove the hair from ones legs every week, adopt sexy postures at the serious risk of straining your spinal column, stuffing yourself with gin-tonics, etc. Keeping in mind that the desire to pick someone up consists "only of a state of mind that predisposes one to accept a member of the opposite sex", Sole asks herself, "Why wait until the weekend to go to a disco and get involved with the first man that asks you your name?". Marta takes advantage of this verbal thought of her housemate to clarify the fact that she is a woman of action. The only thing that occurs to her is to propose a game: avoid all the preambles to the manhunt and take a short cut in the pursuit of a mate; in other words, have an affair with the first man that asks you your name. Sole takes her on without hesitation, but that is hardly surprising since the poor girl stands out, leaving her intelligence aside, for the lack of interest she arouses in the opposite sex. On the other hand, Marie, the man-eater of the group, absolutely refuses to take part in this game from the beginning, but winds up accepting.

And this is how our story begins...
