Hilaria, the eldest of four children - two twin sisters, a brother and herself- now has to run the family household. This is because her parents are going through a rocky period and have agreed to separate, and the mother, as a result, has decided to move in with her friend Lola so she can write her thesis and finish her studies. Although the mother has every right to make this change, the father reacts somewhat egotistically. During this time he has an affair with another woman, which makes the situation at home even more difficult.
