When they arrive at the admissions desk in the mountain hospital, they make a surprising discovery: their wives are actually one and the same person, Laura (played by Celia Freijeiro). For years, Laura has been leading (secret) parallel lives, embarking on a wild roller-coaster ride straddling her two families. Forced to live together until Laura wakes up and can be transferred, Emilio and Toni fight to prove which of the two is her one, true husband.
