Plot

The film relates the adventures of Genaro, a broke and desperate sanky-panky who wants to imitate a good friend's fortune by marrying a rich, older American woman.

Genaro, a Dominican man, wants to learn English, to get himself a gringa (a white American woman) to take him to the US to start a better life.

At first, he tries to get a gringa easily by asking his friend Miguelito, who's already found a rich woman to take care of him and give him a house filled with luxury. At the end of their conversation, Genaro misinterprets the words of his friend, making him think that money changes people.

Genaro comes up with a new idea: get a job in the same resort where Miguelito met his woman, by talking to an old friend and manager of the hotel, Giuseppe. Before heading to the hotel, he asks his two closest friends - Carlitos and Chelo - to take care of his mother and his business. On arrival at the hotel, Giuseppe informs Genaro that the hotel's employees are forbidden to have relationships with the guests.
