Silvana and her daughters move into an apartment next-door to Manuel, who works hard to support his four children, after his wife passed away. It’s Manuel’s hard-working attitude that has led to his strong dislike for the upper class.

Will Manuel be able to put aside his prejudices toward the rich and accept Silvana? Will Silvana be able to disprove all the upper-class stereotypes Manuel throws her way? Only time will tell.
