User review:

In this modern Mexican crime drama, two handsome young private detectives are hired to investigate some possible criminal goings-on at a large estate owned by a wealthy widow by the name of Dona Josefina. There’s one catch, however; Dona Josefina is very “open minded”, and so her guests are artistic, decadent, and homosexual. In order to get an invitation, our two investigators must pretend to be gay!

In spite of this seemingly impossible obstacle, they agree to go undercover as a gay couple and are welcomed by Dona Josefina with open arms.
