Plot

Maikol Yordan Soto Sibaja (Mario Chacón) is a humble farmer who migrates to the city in search of employment. After being unsuccessful, he returns to his home in the countryside where he reunites with his family: his wife Concepción (Natalia Monge) and their eight children, his grandmother Doña Milagro (Anabel Ulloa) and his cousin Heriberto (Boris Alonso). Once there, he learns that the property where he lives is about to be seized for accumulated debts and that there is a businessman named Malavassi (Adal Ramones) who is interested in acquiring the property. Maikol Yordan wins a contest to go to Europe with all his expenses paid and decides to go in order to find a job and ask for financial help from a distant cousin.

Once in Europe, Maikol Yordan is pursued by Cordero (Daniel Moreno), Malavassi's right-hand man, who seeks to thwart Maikol Yordan's plans on several occasions. On his journey through Europe, Maikol Yordan makes several friends who help him meet his cousin: Carolina (María José León), a Colombian waitress who works in a pub in London and is an aspiring model; François (Erik Hernández), a French rogue; and Greivin (Édgar Murillo), a Costa Rican photographer who works in Paris and goes by the name of Jean Luc.
