The plot centers on Marta, Susana Giménez, and Jorge, Juan Carlos Calabró, a typical middle-class family in the 1970s, who live with their children and navigate the daily rhythm of life in Buenos Aires.

Jorge, a bank clerk, represents a stereotype of the era: he loves his family but harbors some macho attitudes, often neglecting to help around the house and having a past infidelity.

Marta, a pharmacy employee, works outside the home and also shoulders most of the day-to-day tasks, including housework and raising the children.

One hot, mid-summer day, Marta decides to take a few days off and head to Mar del Plata.

As expected, temptations do not take long to appear, and Marta is seduced by different men.
