A man imagines having the strength, seduction, and power of fictional heroes. He dreams of being like James Bond, Bruce Lee, or Rocky. Suddenly, he finds himself embroiled in a police plot from which he emerges unscathed.

One of Lima’s most exclusive residential neighborhoods is turned upside down by the arrival of the Gonzales family, who have come from the countryside to settle into a half-finished house they inherited. Their down-to-earth ways will rub the neighbors the wrong way, especially the Maldinis, who will do everything in their power to get rid of them. As the years go by and new seasons unfold, the story deepens with the arrival of the Montalván family, who will bring even more conflicts and unexpected situations to this unique neighborhood.
