A boxer named Manny, battling a potentially life-threatening brain injury, finds his soul to be the object of a metaphysical fight. Two different supernatural agents are sent to win over his soul to their side: one is an angel from a curious version of Heaven, that looks just like a beatific Paris, and in it everyone speaks French; and the other agent is a waitress from Hell, sent to seduce him to spend his eternity in a red-tinted prison where everyone speaks English. 强烈鄙视瞎翻电影字幕的那群孙子。东方没有天堂, 西方没有尘世。天使与魔鬼的合作。一动一静，两位美女。。 拳击手曼尼（Demián Bichir 饰）长年从事激烈运动，身体接近崩溃边缘，而这样一个小人物却引起天堂和地狱的关注。濒临倒闭的天堂公司接到曼尼母亲的祷告，同时也为改善天堂的经营状况，于是派出拥有美丽歌喉的天使劳拉（Victoria Abril 饰）降入人间，假扮成曼尼的女友，以规劝其放弃拳击。 而另一方面，地狱方面也出于自己的目的，派出性感妖艳的魔鬼天使卡门（Penélope Cruz佩内洛普•克鲁兹 饰），扮作曼尼的表妹来鼓励他继续拳击…… 本片荣获2002年西班牙影评人协会奖最佳配乐奖。
