Every day Adela chugs along for miles on her old, yellow 'Vespa 50' to the brothel she owns on a country road outside Madrid. At her bordello she meets Leonardo, a wealthy businessman with worn down heels, who is determined to teach her how to tango. Anita, Adela's daughter, who is normally incapable of emotion, has suddenly fallen for Joaquin.

Maricarmen drives her deceased husband's taxi; he has also left her with two children from his first marriage. They say you can tell a person's character by the shoes they wear. But what if that person is wearing the wrong shoes?
