The only thing that unites them is their eagerness to inherit the apartment building owned by the matriarch of the clan, Doña Pura. When it seems that the mother has finally passed, after a long and interminable agony, to a better life, the two brothers start a mad race to liquidate the inheritance as quickly as possible: a building full of old tenants who have nowhere to go. What Carlos and Paco don't know is that their mother is going to make it difficult for them until the last breath, and that if they are careless, she could be the one who buries them...
