Do you remember me? Years ago, Jorge Ponce was scammed by a man who claimed to be a former co-worker with a personal drama. He soon discovered that the same thing had happened to Andreu Buenafuente, Dani Rovira, Joaquín Reyes and other colleagues. It all remained an anecdote between comedians until, in 2023, Jorge learns of a new case and sets out to find the scammer and tell it in this documentary. |

We work together The search for Antonio Medina goes back more than twenty years with the clue of a children's and youth program in which our man could have been a cameraman. The inability of the documentary team and the detectives to make progress in the investigation puts the existence of the series itself at risk. |

We met on that show The news that a more resourceful television programme is also on the trail of Antonio Medina undermines the team's morale. And perhaps that is not the only competition: different reports of scammers in the world of television have made the subject "fashionable". Jorge only sees one solution to get to the top: set a trap for Antonio Medina using his famous friends as bait. |
