The story is very basic| it deals with the adventures of young street-criminals in Madrid who graduate from car-theft to bank-robbery. What's interesting is the way Saura makes us care about these "hijos de nadie", who are kind and decent people 50% of the time, and feel they have no future in regular society. But the movie never sentimentalizes them - they do exactly what you'd expect such people to do.。故事发生在寻找圣杯的最后几天,当亚瑟王的武士们策马穿过一片充满黑暗、险象环生的丛林,一无所获回到卡默洛特(亚瑟王的宫殿)后,他们的队伍被解散,士气顿失。在他们中间,一位名为兰斯洛特的武士,对此次失败感到深深自责。他认为正是他和格温娜维尔皇后的偷情摧毁了这次神圣的使命。失败的阴影笼罩着一切,辉煌华丽的宫廷呈现出一个即将结束的年代的衰败气象。。
