Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Mexico City, or "Chilangolandia," is a chaotic metropolis where millions of stories take place every day. Some of them are part of this fun comedy full of familiar characters and others that defy stereotypes. Ramiro is a taxi driver who hopes his problems will end when his nephew "El Chulo" becomes a national soccer star. On the other hand, Carmen and Miguel are couple who unexpectedly receive a suitcase with a large sum of money, just what they need to get out of their financial situation. But when the true owners of the cash realize that it fell into the wrong hands, endless adventures and misunderstandings break out within this complex city.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
