Every year one man from the town of Guadix in southern Spain gets chosen to be the Cascamorras, a man trying to reclaim a holy statue of the Virgin Mary from the neighboring town Baza. The chosen one has to reach the church, where the statue is kept, unpainted to be able to claim the statue for his town Guadix, however 10,000 Bastetanos, the people of Baza, are in his way trying to paint him with oil so that the statue remains in Baza. It's the Cascamorras' first race, which is an impossible task to complete.
