This English-language film from the director of Costa Brava is a sparkling comedy set in Spain, where the WonderNapKing Company is in crisis because of a severe decline in its sales of sanitary napkins. Rosa, a worker at the factory, is angry that her friends have been laid off, so she takes over as CEO with the intent to rehire her friends. When she learns that the demand for sanitary napkins is falling because women are having shorter periods due to stress, she hatches a plan to eliminate women's principal headache-men. All that remains is for Rosa and her compaderas to doctor a popular new brand of toothpaste with a radioactive material that causes men to disap- pear, thereby creating a world of ample employment, peace, and prosperity. Will Rosa's plan be sabotaged and bungled, or will she succeed? Honey... is a whimsical, witty and clever farce, certain to appeal to all "I Love Lucy" fans.
This wacky farce follows Rosa, a bungling employee who is hired as CEO of a sanitary napkin Company. After it is discovered that stress, brought on by men, is decreasing women’s menstruation cycles, Rosa, with the aid of an ever-so-cute scientist develops a plan to rid the world of stress, bring world peace and provide plenty of job opportunities (even the Pope’s position is available). A wildly rebellious comedy about female empowerment, a world without men and sanitary napkin sales!
