The tenants of one of the poorest barrios in the center of Bogota, Colombia, struggle to avoid being evicted from the house where they live, property of an unscrupulous millionaire. Defending the building against judges and the police, they plan an original strategy made up by Don Jacinto, a veteran anarchist in exile after the Spanish Civil War. The fight against speculators and corrupt lawyers is lost before they begin, but the tenants are prepared to do whatever necessary to defend their dignity. "Marvelous comedy that was a blockbuster in Colombia and the rest of Latin America" (Fernando Morales, DIARIO EL PAIS)
