Synopsis
Nena, Ludmilla, and Rosa have come to Madrid from Havana to live with their aunt Maria. The girls have no papers and are put to work in Maria's fur store. Maria sets up an arranged marriage between Rosa and boorish Javier, but Javier prefers Nena. Meanwhile, Barbaro, who arrived in Madrid on the same plane, stays with the street-smart immigrant Igor. A penniless but nice guy, Igor sleeps with Spanish women to up his lifestyle while also forging passports to help his friends escape to Miami. Igor eventually falls for Nena in a Cubano bar causing complications in Maria's plan.
