Nuevas aventuras en la alocada metrópoli de Mundodisco. Dos acontecimientos de gran transcendencia vienen a turbar la peculiar armonía de Ankh-Morpork: la Muerte, que sufre una depresión, decide alistarse en la Legión Extranjera para eludir sus responsabilidades, y su nieta Susan, aunque tenga más aspecto de hada que de Parca, se ve obligada a asumir las obligaciones familiares. Por si ello fuera poco, en las vidas de los habitantes del Mundodisco irrumpe el rock'n'roll: un bardo, un troll y un enano, tras encontrarse una guitarra mágica, forman un grupo que arrasa allí donde actúa. Una vez más, la desternillante novela de Pratchett puede leerse en clave metafórica, como sátira surrealista de la industria discográfica y sus servidumbres, o como parodia de las novelas de aventuras al estilo de Beau Gest, entre otras muchas posibilidades.
SUMMARY: The Discworld is flat, and rides through space on the backs of Berilia, Tubul, Great P'Thon and Jerakeen, the four elephants who stand in turn on the back of Great A'Tuin, the giant turtle.

When they meet the barbarian thieves Bravd and Weasel, things that are already bad turn inevitably to the worst . . .This is the second of Terry Pratchett's Discworld movies for SKY ONE, made by the team who brought THE HOGFATHER to you and featuring The Discworld Players, an ensemble cast including Sir David Jason as Rincewind.
