Hide AdWhile an air of chemically induced calm settles over economy class, three gay stewards attending to first class - Fajardo (Carlos Areces), Joserra (Javier Camara) and Ulloa (Raul Arevalo) - attempt to buoy spirits of their passengers with heady cocktails and lip-synced dance routines to The Pointer Sisters.
On board, psychic Bruna (Lola Duenas) uses her ‘gift’ to predict a crash-landing, bed-hopping actor Ricardo Galan (Guillermo Toledo) is gifted a chance at redemption with an old flame, and a honeymooning couple (Miguel Angel Silvestre, Laya Marti) decide that if this is to be their last flight, they should join the mile-high club as soon as physically possible.
