In addition to Marisol, other unscrupulous reporters join the plot, such as the director of the TV station who is unstable, al-coholic and insecure. “Today is the last day. Tomorrow I’ll leave it” he says, while he pulls a bottle of alcohol out of a drawer after the alleged killer’s call to the TV station to sell him the images. There is an undefined group of villainous journalists at the door of the hostel waiting to take some macabre photos and video. In the final scene, a comment from the main char-acter to everyone present makes perfectly clear the vision of this cinematographic satire toward sensationalist journalists: “Go to hell, vultures”.

Siempre hay un camino a la derecha, is the title of the film and the name of the program headed by Lanza Gorta (Javier Gurrutxaga), a TV host who is highly theatrical, money hungry, and dishonest, but always has a big smile. His arrival on the scene is remarkable when he storms into a house with his camera operator where two men are about to commit suicide: “There is always a way out”. Shortly afterward, on the studio set, the phony host starts the performance. “Juan and Pepe, two souls who were about to take their own lives. A heartfelt applause”.

On the magnificent TV screen with hostesses, orchestra, and the public watching, the theatrical anchor-man with a suit and bow tie gives way to the two men dressed in an unusual bullfighting costume. The programme continues with a social worker, Luchi, and the two wives dressed in sevillana costumes on the set, followed by another video that the presenter announces: “Watch for the docudrama - our heroes start a new life”.

One of the women finds a job in a club, and when images of this story appear, the anchor-man justifies this type of news: “No matter how hard life becomes, there is always a way out”. When this same woman reappears on the screen with a penis in her hand from a mutilated client, the host again defends himself: “The penis is not a trick to get more audience share, but is a plea against vice”. Gorta becomes another television villain with this atrocious story about the world of reality shows.

El grito en el cielo takes place on and near the set of ‘El cielo de Miranda Vega’, an entertainment programme with Miranda (María Conchita Alonso). Much of the film is set during its broadcast, with the alternating fortune of the different contes-tants fighting to win the prize, which is none other than the opportunity to co-present the programme with Miranda. The film begins with the words of the person in charge of the TV station (Tito Valverde) in a luxurious office with taxidermic animal heads and horns. He tells the female presenter that she is “a big star, but it’s not working”. Although he says he used to like her choreographies and songs from twelve years ago, he scolds her for not bearing in mind that it’s been a long time since then. He suggests that she ought to be more in touch with the audience to attain the status of “trash TV” and “do things worse”, which she can‘t refuse because she has a contract and her career is in full decline. They talk about the new direction the program will take, and the head of the station insists on letting the participants in the game show “make fools of themselves“.“It‘s good. Laughing is good. It’s good reality”. She whines and protests because she doesn‘t like the new format proposed by the boss, and even ironically tells him that they are already spying on celebrities. His enthusiasm is not swayed, and he assures her they will do it:

“It’s the other side of reality: lovers, secret children, swindles, vices, perversion, criticism, crime... it’s all good, and a hidden camera is good” (TC: 00:15:26).

Miranda is responsible in her work, though insecure due to the pressure she is under from the TV station’s director. She has been a diva from the moment she first appeared on the show, wearing a long skirt and a tribal looking, feathered headdress
