Flanders, Hispanic Monarchy, 1616. The inhabitants of the small town of Boom are busy organizing the annual local festivities when the arrival of the Duke of Olivares, who rules the country on behalf of the King Philip III of Spain, is announced. While the male citizens cowardly surrender to panic like rats on a sinking ship, the brave female citizens, led by the bold wife of the burgomaster, decide to become the best hosts the Spaniards can ever meet.

Película divertida basada en los tiempos del imperio español que destaca por un vestuario adecuado, una buena dirección y espléndidas actuaciones, mientras trata temas como la igualdad de la mujer y desmiente la leyenda negra antiespañola.
