El pretérito imperfecto

La que se avecina is a Spanish television comedy created by Alberto Caballero, Laura Caballero and Daniel Deorador. The TV-series focusing around the inhabitants of Mirador de Montepinar, a fictional building located on the outskirts of a big city. Both its storylines and cast are heavily based on Aquí no hay quien viva, which ended when Telecinco bought Miramón Mendi, the series production company. The episodes debuted on the Telecinco network, and were later rerun by the same network as well as cable/satellite channels FactoríaDeFicción and Paramount Comedy. The series debuted in 22 April 2007 and became popular thanks to its funny characters, witty script, use of catchphrases and capacity to integrate and poke fun at contemporary issues; the program presents a caustic satire of many of the 'types' found in Spanish society. The name of the show involves wordplay, as "vecina" is the Spanish word for neighbour.

Pablo, a bit of an oddball – shy and obsessed with analysing the risks involved in any situation – has been waiting a year to attend a massive anime event. When the big day finally arrives, his troublesome brother asks him for a life-or-death favour: he has to go to ‘Las Tres Mil Viviendas’, Seville’s most dangerous neighbourhood, to retrieve a rucksack. Pablo will have to decide whether to put his life on the line to save his brother or attend the event he’s been waiting for all year.
