[edit] Plot
In Heaven the last ten years have been tough -- Hell has been winning the battle between Good and Evil. The managers of Heaven receive a request by a mother to save her son's soul and see opportunity of winning the soul of a boxer named Many(Demián Bichir) as an opportunity to shift the balance of power. Lola (Victoria Abril), an angel, is sent to Earth to take over the role of the boxer's wife. To counter this, Hell's manager Jack Davenport (Gael García Bernal) decides to send one of his more troublesome agents, Carmen (Penélope Cruz), to fight back, impersonating Many's cousin. Though it starts out as a simple fight between heaven and hell for the soul of one man, a conspiracy in Hell and conflicting emotions interrupt the war between saints and sinners. Suddenly Many's soul becomes increasingly important and his weakened physical state creates a deadline by which he must go to Hell or Heaven. It is the job of the supernatural agents to tempt or save Many, and the obstinate womanizing boxer who inconsistenly shows signs of regret and change, makes it a hard job for both Carmen and Lola.
