A romantic comedy built on a deceptive scheme to engineer infidelity, balancing comedic manipulation with genuine emotional stakes around marriage and desire.

El Tenso does not know how to face his ill-tempered wife, Tana, to tell her that he wants to separate. Carlos, a friend of Tenso, suggests him to invert the situation and cause Tana to leave him by hiring Cuervo Flores, an irresistible seducer, to try and charm his wife until she falls in love with him.
