The King of the Machos (El rey de los machos)

Remember these biceps?

They've all been winners of "The King of the Machos" title,

the huge event that's turning our lovely town upside down

and bringing visitors from around the world

to find the most macho young man in our community.

The King of the Machos starts tomorrow,

and these super machos have a message for you.

Don't miss it!

Ah!

THE KING OF THE MACHOS

Saving the best for last. Ah!

The last shall be first.

Congratulations, boy.

Mmm, mmm.

So strong!

Look, he's already got calluses on his hand.

Mr. Víctor, I'm eating.

Ah.

- Dad. - Damn right, man.

It's a chick.

No fucking way, Carlota. Girls can't join The King of the Machos.

You'd better wait to be the Queen of Spring.

Hi.

Sorry, what is this?

My birth certificate.

Uh...

I don't understand.

The contest rules say that young people who are 18 years old can sign up.

It doesn't say what their gender has to be.

- - Oh, dear little thing.

Ah, but... Oh, sweetie, the rules are talking about... about the menfolk,

and that's how it's been since forever and ever.

In that case, Mr. Víctor, there won't be a problem, because I am a man.

And if that wasn't enough, the contest rules are quite clear.

If you want to check, I can wait.

Uh, well... well, we'll check, okay?

- Right? - What's going on?

Uh, we just don't know what to do, because there's no precedent

for anything like this in the entire history of the contest.

No, well, here in the words that Mr. Anastasio wrote,

there isn't anything at all that prevents her from entering the contest.

Come on, come on, enough. Let her participate.

It will be fun having a mascot in the contest.

- Mmm. - Are you sure?

Yeah, Dad.

Good, but you should be clear. It's at your own risk.

Don't come crying later like... like what you are, a little girl.

Thanks for making that clear, Mr. Castillo.

- Very apt. - Do we agree?

Well, then, you're in.

Dear girl, I mean... I mean, "dear boy."

- Congratulations, young... - Man.

- Man! - Man! Right.

Thanks.

So? Aren't you going to thank me?

Oh, yes. Thanks, León.

What would this town do without you?

Uh.

Ladies first, Miss.

Carlota.

Lady Carlota.

The queen of the machos.

Yeah, yeah.

Mmm. Mmm.

Mrs. Zoila, please, you have to tell everyone what's your secret.

Maybe it's the salsa, the cheese.

Mrs. Zoila, these dishes aren't serving themselves.

Come on, back to work!

One day you'll be sorry you made these ridiculous videos.

We'll see if you say the same when you see me living off of my royalties.

Toña!

- What's with you? -

- Why are you so happy? -

- I signed up for The King of the Machos. - Yeah, right.

I don't believe you.

Oh, no?

What, Charly?

Are you crazy?

No. I have to win this contest, Toña.

And with the prize money, you and I are going to study in the city.

THE SCORPION

- Seriously? - Yes.

- Charly, you're the bomb. -

And you know what? You're going to win that contest. You'll win it.

We need a plan for diet, exercise, because you're gonna get ripped.

And the most important, you're going to start social media accounts.

Let's see your paper. Show it off.

Let them see.

Registration in The King of the Machos.

- - Wow.

Shorty. Shorty, you're not going to believe this.

At the market, Mrs. Chave told me

that Carlota signed up for The King of the Machos.

Oh, honey, just ignore them.

They'll say anything.

No, she swore to me that it was true.

And the worst part is, it seems they accepted her.

She'll be the death of me.

No, well, this time he crossed the line.

The way they are in this town, they'll never forgive him.

Daughter! Son!

- She's a girl. - Shh.

Is it true that... that you signed up for that contest for The King of the Machos?

- Yes, Dad. - Are you crazy?

In that contest, they'll tear you to shreds.

I thought that you would support me at least.

No, of course I support you.

But I support you in the things that make you happy.

Registering in The King of the Machos contest is like you're painting

a target on your back for the whole town to attack you, Son.

I don't care.

Tomorrow, I'm going to show the entire town that I can be more manly than anyone.

- Come on, 97. Good. Lower, lower. -

Ninety-eight.

Come on, come on.

Ninety-nine. Good, León, good. 100.

Good, dude. Good, good, good, good, good.

No, wait, wait, wait, wait.

It's not good for you to overdo it, dude.

You'll hurt yourself. Relax.

Fuck that.

This year, The King of the Machos will be me, damn it.

Ooh, well, it's gonna be hard,

since you let that Carlota sign up.

I don't care if she's a chick. I'll fuck her up along with all the others.

Ah, yeah, I'd like to see that, dude.

- - Watch me, asshole.

Where were you, Abi?

Leoncito.

No way, you smell like booze again.

Next time, I won't cover for you with our parents, eh?

Relax, Leoncito.

And stop being such a girl.

Mmm.

Bye.

- Be careful, Abi. - One.

- - What are you laughing at, stupid?

No. No, nothing, dude.

Forty-nine, fifty, thirty-three, one hundred and one, two, three!

- Grandpa, this is serious, count properly. - This is serious, dude.

So... ...three night.

- No, no, no. Only two nights, please. -

Room ready.

Welcome.

Please.

Welcome.

Mom, Dad, I'm going to The King of the Machos.

It, eh, everything okay?

Son, you don't have to prove anything to anyone.

Tell Mom thanks for her support, eh?

Giddyup, giddyup.

Attention, ladies and gentlemen.

Crawl out of your holes.

CLOSED

Attention please, because today the fun starts.

Gentlemen, ladies, come on, come on over to the inauguration,

because it's time for The King of the Machos.

CLOSED

Yeehaw!

- - Hi, my dears.

We're broadcasting here from the big inauguration of The King of the Machos,

and I want you to meet Charly.

A macho who's not too tough, but he is very male, because just look

- at how he carries himself. - Yeah.

Well, you can all follow his story through my social media channels and his.

- Bye. - Kisses.

Now can we go to the changerooms or will you keep doing your thing?

Changerooms? Why, what am I going to do there?

Like, am I going to enjoy the eye candy?

WELCOME TO THE BIG EVENT THE KING OF THE MACHOS

You're my coach. Remember?

Right?

Obviously. Yes.

Because as a trans man with a female coach

in a changeroom full of machos, I think we'll be disqualified right off the bat.

Let them disqualify us, but not for arriving late. Let's go. Now.

We're going to win! Look! Oh. Let's take a photo with him now.

- One photo. - No, no. Let's go already.

Let's go. Let's go.

- Don't take off your mascot costume! - Please.

We're here for the inauguration of the most anticipated event of the year.

Today, The King of the Machos begins.

And we're here with the crème de la crème of Tunas society.

You're going to show all those fags who the Castillos really are.

Yes, sir.

Damn, look at that!

Two chicks in a men's changeroom.

Don't worry, Dad, they won't make it past today. Relax.

You look so pretty, Toña.

She's pretty, she's looking really good.

Yes or no, Toña?

What?

Nothing.

It's very exciting being able to be here together,

to discover who is the most macho this year.

Bravo!

These 20 machos will have the opportunity to prove they have the three "G's"

of a great Mexican macho.

Gorgeous, gallant,

and a gigantic drive to succeed!
