Plot

Channels change on an old television set. Are we watching a nostalgic TV show or a funny American movie musical? Yes, it's reality TV from the past. Your average Latina housewife, Chi-Chi, is suffering from a sexless marriage while husband, Bill, is more annoyed by their lack of communication. Their middle class suburban life begins to unravel through musical fantasies and flashbacks. The gay son, Junior, suggests she call a self-help guru, Mr. Loveboy, who guarantees to transform her into an 'ultimate woman, fabulous housewife.' After-work in a bar, Bill has a strange daydream that awakens the 'man' in him and returns home for a big surprise. But is this family living in the real world or on TV, for an audience or themselves? .
