Four kids get lost in the forest in the middle of a storm and go take refuge in an abandoned castle. There they will meet and face Dracula, the Werewolf, Quasimodo and Doctor Frankenstein. Despite the attempts of the monsters to scare them and, in passing, recover their lost prestige, the children, with the help of Count Dracula's son, will face the evil creatures.

Pepe Soriano plays a Madrid shopkeeper who is kidnapped by henchmen of Franco in this political comedy.

Based on a novel by one of the greater Spanish writers of the 20th century (Miguel Delibes), "La Guerra de Papá" (Dad's War) tells the story of a typical day for a 3-year-old boy in 1964. The little boy, played by Lolo García, spends his day running around playing with his 5-year-old brother and interacting with the adults in the household (mother, servants...). Through his innocent eyes we see a portrait of Spanish society in the 60's (with its many conflicts and contradictions). The film is also a very good character study of the adults and of the boy himself, who feels jealous because he is no longer the youngest child in the house, since he has a 1-year-old sister.
