Plot

The film is focused on Lima in the mid 90's. In this medley of the monologue by Carlos Alcántara, the plot adds real experiences to fictitious situations.[3]

Cachín is an actor who works steadily in the series ''Patacláun''. With the luxuries, he has enough to live and does what he likes. The labor issue already seems to be resolved. He is happy with his life, but something is missing: the love of his life, Emilia (Emilia Drago). After meeting her at a party, Cachín almost manages to win her over. However, Emilia's main boyfriend is Ricky (Christian Meier), a wealthy, handsome and loved by the family. Cachín must face many difficult situations where social differences predominate, in order to be accepted by Emilia's family and friends. Because of this, he decides to change his identity to hide many aspects of his life and to hide his friends from Peepers.
