Don Anselmo soon becomes obsessed with getting his own "little coach" and joining the subculture of other "cochetito" owners. However, when his tight-fisted son refuses to buy a chair for him, the old man tries several gambits to get one. 本片是导演早期的剧情长片之一，以讽刺地展现生活的怪异、死亡和阴暗面而出名。在这部黑色喜剧中，一位与卑劣且冷漠的家人同住的老人喜爱跟一个坐在特制轮椅上的残疾人交往。当老人发现大多数的残疾人都拥有这样的“交通工具”后，突发奇想要为自己设计一辆特殊的单车。但当他向家人分享这个愿望时，遭受的却是冷眼与不无好意的响应……
