As soon as he arrives, Pedro, a “scaly” being, intelligent and in love, bumps into the love of his life, Paula Dávila, and in less than 48 hours he ends up being her driver and confidant. Not only that, but she also becomes the great breadwinner of the Pacheco family, made up exclusively of women, whom the man of the house has just left to go to the other world. This is how Pedrito Coral Tavera finds the perfect setting to interpret and display his scales.
