Plot
The film tells the story of a group of comedians. It is a story about their loves and heartbreaks and their desires and frustrations.
Throughout the journey, their work is interspersed with love, family financial problems, and the hunger to triumph a dream. The central character, Carlos Galván, is the son of the first actor and director of the company, don Arturo, and he's the father of Carlito, a kid who does not want to be a comic. Carlos Galván takes refuge in a fantasy world.
