In 1940s Vera Cruz, Nacho, an Indian busboy at Don Lázaro’s café in Hotel Ofélia, falls for Lola, an opium‑addicted, alcoholic prostitute who idolizes masked wrestler Gardenia Wilson. Warned Lola is dangerous, Nacho endures humiliation to stay near her. Lola’s sadism and Republican exiles urging her to kill Franco mix with Nacho’s “Mikado” fantasies, blurring politics and obsession.
