A rich lady is suddenly in the street after her father's suicide and moves to a pension with many working women from different origins whom she had previously humiliated.

Two women from the same family, one from 1830 and the other from 1930, the first subject to the rigor of the customs of her time and the other in an atmosphere of independence and freedom.

The members of a Buenos Aires family have three hobbies — "berretines" in Buenos Aires slang — that keep them apart of their duties. Because of that, the family business is going down, and the only one who is concerned is the father, who hopes for his fourth son, an architect, to save the situation.
