A writer, seeing how his acclaimed soap opera loses audience to the competition, is pressured by the channel managers, actors, and people.

At a rundown bus station in rural Cuba, the line of passengers waiting just keeps getting longer. The problem is that every bus that passes by is already full. Their only hope is to wait for the station's bus to be fixed. As the disparate group settles in, relationships start forming between the passengers: Emilio, a young engineer, becomes smitten with a beautiful young woman who is en route to meet her Spanish fiancé, a blind man gets support from the others to go to the head of the line. Frustration and disorder reign when the one bus brakes down and no one can leave. Resigned to working together, the group magically transforms the station into a beautiful place where no one wants to leave.

A story of survival and triumph of the human spirit.

The Rubio family leaves their Colombian hometown of Sasaima for a vacation in Miami, where they make a splash with their colorful charm and naïveté.
