Plot

María Guadalupe "Lupita" Menchaca Martínez is a single mother, living with her son, alongside the rest of her family —- father, brother, and sister in a typical middle-class neighborhood in Mexico City. Miguel Ángel Ruizpalacios Romagnoli is a perfect exponent of the upper class. He is a millionaire and has no problem in sight. He lives on rumba, gambling and women and it doesn't matter what happens to the company of which he is president by inheritance. Lupita and Miguel Ángel do not know each other and seemingly have nothing in common. Their worlds are different, their social classes do not cross and their personalities have little to do with each other. However, destiny is responsible for crossing them so unexpectedly.

Victim of a trap of his cousin Alejo, who wants to be the president of the company, Miguel Ángel is accused of using the company's money to launder assets and a current account of incoming non-holy money. Miguel Ángel is not only wanted by the police, but his life and that of the Ruizpalacios family changes from one day to the next: all the accounts closed, Miguel's assets are seized, and if he does not appear, they are to be considered fugitives from justice.

Desperate and without knowing whom to turn to, Miguel Ángel decides to listen to his grandmother Matilde, who claims that they own land on the outskirts of the city that his grandfather once bought.
With intentions to sell them and to make off cash money, Miguel Ángel undertakes the crusade of recovering them facing the Menchaca, the family that lives there and assures to own the place that they once bought from his grandfather.
As there is no evidence of either, nor of the other the Ruizpalacios have no other choice but to settle down to live with the Menchaca, in what is the only house with which they have, as well as a restaurant and a hall of events.
The meeting of these two worlds is very comical. First, because the Ruizpalacios do not understand how the Menchaca live. If you have your own room with a private bathroom, the Ruizpalacios spend the night sleeping together in cabin beds and sharing a single bathroom among the more than 10 people who live in the house.
Secondly, because in their life they never worked and now they will have to survive in some way, learning the activities that the Menchaca develop, for them, one more humiliating than the other.

Thirdly because Miguel Ángel is nothing more and nothing less than Alejo's cousin, the man who ruined Lupita's life.
Despite all the setbacks, the impossibility of coexistence and the crazy crosses between rich and poor, love between Lupita and Miguel Ángel arises with a force that neither can stop, and that force causes that with the entire time everything seems to be irreconcilable begins to have a why.
This is how they deeply hate each other, the Menchaca and the Ruizpalacios become part of the same side with one goal in common: to help Miguel Ángel recover everything he lost in exchange for the club and the house to stay with the Menchaca .
Everything seems to go on wheels until obstacles happen such as when Alejo attacks with all his arms to destroy Lupita, claiming paternity of his son, who he wants to take over as he may; Minerva who has always been in love with Miguel Ángel and only wants Alejo for his money, will stand in the love that begins to appear between Lupita and Miguel Ángel using various tricks with his mother to keep the money of Alejo and claim the love of Miguel Ángel.
