Francisco Paesa, one of the most intriguing father-of-two and a sufferer of Multiple Sclerosis, who is told We wish the film “100 metres” every characters of recent decades, is a man of many talents. In that he will never run 100 metres. Ramón ignores this warning success. 1995, Luis Roldán and his wife hired his services to conceal and, after overcoming a bout of depression, trains hard so as to 1.5 billion pesetas embezzled from the public coffers.
