iFamily
Luis never acted as a father, and now that he should and wants to, he can't. Kike always runs from responsibilities, and now he's faced with his biggest one yet. Girón, a ruthless lawyer, and Curro, a professional schemer and owner of the neighborhood bar where they both grew up, will be their advisors. Lola, a social worker as strict professionally as she is insecure personally, will also appear and closely monitor the children's upbringing. An atypical, modern, and "connected" family.
