    • Synopsis

    • At home, his parents Víctor and Amparo, live a comfortable life between business and the Club. They barely pay attention to their son, who gets lost in computers and programming projects.

      Classes are about to end, when the family suffers a deep setback when their great uncle Pedro dies. They uncover the economic embezzlement in which the family business is, and at the funeral they meet again with Ángeles, their father's mother, who’s kind of eccentric and hippie. To escape the pressure of their defrauded investors, the parents travel to Miami to solve the financial situation.

      Without consulting them, they leave Felipe in the care of the grandmother, who’s dragged into the family’s economic problems and is force to take care of that grandchild she barely knows.

      Both grandson and grandmother will feel a mutual distrust due to their differences, but they will have to transform it into an alliance by having to face alone that forced coexistence. To Felipe, living with this older, libertarian woman who interacts and shares her opinions all the time is overwhelming. To Ángeles, making contact with her grandchild is a new family opportunity.

      At the end of school, Felipe discovers that Nico is moving to Córdoba and gets depressed. Without any answer from his parents and worried about Felipe, Ángeles decides to travel to Córdoba by car with him, and visit the farm of her good friend Lola.

      During this journey in an old car, grandmother and grandchild will know each other, they will go from mutual suspicion to complicity, and live multiple adventures and challenges that will allow them to forge a particular relationship.

      After different unusual encounters, they will arrive at Nico’s who, despite of not being able to return with Felipe, makes him see the important that his grandmother has in his life.
