Plot
In the story, Mónica (Mercedes Morán), María Emilia (Carla Peterson), Lorena (Florencia Bertotti), Laura (Isabel Macedo) and Andrea (Araceli González) they know each other when the bank in which they had their finances suddenly closes and keeps the money from all the deposits. So, from one day to the next, the dreams and projects of each are truncated. Seven years after that fateful day of 2007, the five have become very friendly, but they have not yet been able to recover from that loss and eagerly seek economic and emotional order. It will take a new and unexpected path in their lives so they can reflect deeply on their personal stories. Something like a second chance. The last to fall in love, perform, build a family, follow the vocation, heal wounds or simply overcome fears, those that paralyze and do not allow progress. After all, they are not perfect, they are guapas.
