When they are evicted from their apartment, as part of a sinister scheme by her ex-husband, Angela goes to the only person she knows who can help: her wealthy father Eduardo (Simon Andreu), who disowned her years ago when she eloped with the pool boy.
Eduardo hasn't mellowed with age, and he's not interested in helping Angela; she was written out of the will ages ago. His second wife, former tv star Victoria (Yolanda Ramos), isn't in the will,either; he fake-married her to get her off his back.
In the midst of these revelations, Eduardo drops dead of a heart attack, and both Angela and Victoria are penniless. What is there to do but hide the body, pretend that Eduardo is still alive, and try to forge a new will?
Easier schemed than done. There are complications, of course. Eduardo's publisher wants his new book, his ex-wife has an important document, neighbors and business associates are suspicious, and lawyers and police officers keep snooping around. Meanwhile the new blended family tries to maintain life as usual.
2. Nando starts a new get-rich-quick scheme and avoids the amorous attentions of next door neighbor Adela (Betzy Turnez),
Snoopy cop Miquel (Miquel Fernandez, top photo and left), who becomes an ally, fills out the main cast.
The interactions are pleasantly hectic, the twists and turns are mostly unexpected, and there is a minimum of hetero-romance. I was hoping that David would eventually get a boyfriend, but you can't have everything.
My grade: A-.
