The film begins with an 18 year old Emilio (Mario Casas) who credits his amorous misadventures with Natalia (Amaia Salamanca) to his physical problems (orthodoncy, orthosis, etc.) When he is 18, he finally gets rid of all his dental paraphernalia and has a chance to confess to Natalia his love. But when she gets a student grant to attend Oxford University (England), all his friends try to help him by going to Oxford too with fake grants. However, once there, the group must confront several problems, such as their poor English and their disabilities and quirks (one of Emilio's friends is blind, another is paraplegic and the last one is a drug dealer). Despite their impediments, they do their best to help Emilio get closer to Natalia, with disastrous results.
