Synopsis

Don Oscar is in trouble: according to medical tests he is sterile, but his wife is pregnant; the neighboring construction workers seem dedicated to guarding his house; Duberney, the new moneylender in town, is looking for him with his thugs all over Tuluá. That is why he has decided to hide until the tide goes out. While he dedicates himself to getting bored and drunk on his dilapidated farm, the least expected person finds his latest treasure. It will be the stupefied man who cares for and washes Don Oscar's dogs, who sets out to recover the money.{{Cite web |title=Cine Colombiano: LAVAPERROS |url=https://www.proimagenescolombia.com/vermas/s7Rj6G3XmZ |access-date=2023-08-09 |website=Cine Colombiano |language=es}}
