Plot
Manolo (Manolo Escobar), a singer, falls in love with a young woman whose photo appears on a calendar, and suffers from constant hallucinations that make hm see the young woman everywhere. At the same time, he argues with his neighbor who lives upstairs in his apartment every time Manolo tries to play the piano while writing music, because it bothers her a lot. Manolo eventually travels to Puerto Rico, upon learning that the model plans to run an advertising campaign there, only to discover that the woman, Eva (Paca Gabaldón), was also the neighbor with whom he was always arguing. From there, Manolo and Eva must go through several adventures that include Salomé (Olga Breeskin), the mentally unbalanced ex-girlfriend of Manolo who chases him with a gun; César (Jorge Lavat), Eva's boyfriend; Clotilde (Iris Chacón), an extroverted young woman friend of Eva's who crosses paths with Manolo; and Clotilde's wealthy father, Crisanto (Antonio Garisa).
