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.
