Synopsis
'Chilangolandia' is a place where many things happen and many stories are told, like that of Ramiro, the taxi driver. He is convinced that his life will change when his nephew "El Chulo" becomes the next soccer star by testing himself in the basic forces. On the other side of the city, Carmen and Miguel – a woman desperately seeking to improve her economic situation in the company of her bossy husband – will receive a suitcase with 10 million pesos by mistake.
