Next up: "A lucky family" (Una familia con suerte) - here's the "plot" ...
Fernanda Peñaloza (Alicia Rodríguez) is told she has cancer and decides to commit suicide. When she's at the point of throwing herself off a bridge Pancho López (Arath de la Torre), a vegetable delivery man, tells her life is beautiful and one has to struggle for her every day. He conviinces her and invites her to join him in his truck, which he calls "The Donkey." He's a humble man, full of virtues and with natural knack for business - he helps whoever needs it and belives in family. He thinks having a lot of money makes for problems.
Fernanda meets his four children: Lupita (Ale García) is his pampered daughter, a warm-hearted girl who has inherited her father's love of helping others. Ana (Sherlyn) Lupita more than he loves her. Temo (Daniel Arévalo) is the baby of the family - their mother Laurita (Ana Bárbara) died giving birth to him and he's been raised by Chela (Luz Elena González), Pancho's sister-in-law, who took charge of the family when her sister died. She hides a secret: the only love of her life has been Pancho.
Pepe López (Pablo Lyle) is Pancho's oldest son. He's audacious, a mechanic's apprentice, he loves race cars and relates to people of a different social status than his own. He meets Mónica Rinaldi (Violeta Isfel), the rich girlfriend of Freddy Irabién (Juan Diego Covarrubias) and they become rivals on the road and for Monica's love.
Candelaria (Alicia Machado), Pancho's sister, is a pretty diva, who flaunts her exuberant beauty for all the men of the barrio to admire.
Pancho López and his family have a big problem: the neighborhood is mortgaged and there's no money to pay the debt. It hurts Pancho that he can't protect his family.
Fernanda Peñaloza values Pancho's honesty and sense of responsibility and considers him an honorable man, quite the opposite of her nephew Vicente Irabién (Sergio Sendel), an ambitious man who uses people, who's anxious for his aunt to die so he can have her fortune and become president of the business.
Enzzo Rinaldi (Pedro Moreno) wants to evict the Lopez family and their friends. Pancho feels trapped, he and his family suffer humiliation and in the end there's nothing for it but to accept Fernanda's proposal - that he become president of her cosmetics industry.
Rebeca Treviño (Mayrín Villanueva), a beautiful, intelligent woman, is Pancho's advisor in his new job as president. She will educate him, teach him how to live in the world of high finance. She becomes Chela's rival.
The López family moves into Fernanda's mansion, their new neighbors the Irabién family: Vicente, Pina (Daniela Castro) and Freddy...
