Zacarias and his wife, both humble peasants, move to the big city where their eldest son Raul goes to medical school. Zacarias buys a car and starts working as a taxi driver, while his wife works as a washerwoman from home. Raul hides his poor parents from his friends and from his girlfriend, to whom he lies that he is from a rich family.
The first section of the movie depicts one day in the life of a taxi driver. It is mostly a series of comic episodes involving the passengers Zacarias takes. The second and final section is about the drama of a father and mother whose son is ashamed of them, despite all the effort they make to pay for his studies. Despite still being basically a schmaltzy low-brow dramedy, it is a notch above the average for a Mazzaropi film, thanks to a reasonably well written screenplay.
