Ángel E. Domenech

Based on Manuel Zeno Gandía's novel about peasant life in late nineteenth-century Puerto Rico.

Life grows more chaotic as the family moves into a lavish new home, thanks to Armando's big promotion. Meanwhile, daughter Dolly is pregnant, and 2 members of the local police, the family's friends after years of responding to noisy arguments, are getting married.

Armando is a suave radio disc jockey trying to hide his sexy secretary from his jealous wife. He is caught between his stubborn mother and his opinionated mother-in-law. Stirring the already spicy pot is his son, who plans to marry the daughter of an unusual couple.
