One of the worst movies ever made was a film called Waterworld. The film was set in a future world in which ice caps have melted and water covers the Earth. Kevin Costner stars as The Mariner, a mutant who can breathe under water. His job is to protect a young girl who has what may be a map of dry land tattooed on her back; an evil gang riding Jet Skis is trying to kidnap her to get the map. The first thing the film’s producers did was pay Kevin Costner $14 million to star in the film. Then they started actual filming, and things went wrong very quickly.

In the surroundings there are other taquerías, but they are completely empty. His business, on Fridays (from seven at night), becomes a real madness.
