Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Alicia returns to Chile to introduce her future husband, an eccentric young Spanish hipster who embodies modernity. His arrival causes a family upheaval, and the clash with the conservative Papi Ricky and the irreverent Catrala leads both parents to put aside their old differences and unite around a common goal: stopping their daughter’s wedding.
