1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Things aren't going very well for me
All attempts to locate Antonio Medina before the other television programme have fallen on deaf ears. The team is increasingly discouraged and, as if that were not enough, Jorge seems increasingly disconnected from reality and proposes one last crazy idea: trying to scam the media that are looking for the scammer. But he does not count on the fact that the budget for this documentary series has already been exhausted.
5. My name is Antonio Medina
Months after the documentary ended, Jorge urgently brings the team back together because he has the most important lead yet: someone has just met Antonio Medina. The team immediately sets out to find him. With the result, they get the green light to make one last episode. Will Jorge be able to meet Antonio Medina again?
