Plot
Jesús Kike Peinado (Víctor Mallarino) is the owner of a lingerie manufacturing company, which he founded with his ex wife Mercedes (Lully Bossa), who left him after getting involved with a rich American citizen. Kike starts doing business with American clients, but since he does not speak English, he asks his cousin Luis Fernando (Juan Alfonso Baptista) for help. Luis Fernando, who is involved with drug dealers, is joined by his assistant and lover Milena (Isabel Estrada), both wishing to take advantage of Kike's company. Despite his cousin's help, Kike decides to learn English on his own and meets Pili (Carolina Gómez), a middle-class young woman and a professional English teacher unable to travel to the US after having her visa denied. Kike slowly falls in love with Pili and hires her in order to give private English classes for him and his employees.[1]
