Plot
Margot Ramírez is a fifty-year-old woman who yearns for more from life after being stuck in a boring marriage to Justo, a man who ignores her and who is cheating on her with a younger woman. Although she is physically attractive, she is past her prime, but she is still determined to fulfill her dreams of becoming an actress, seeing her family happy and finding a man who will fulfill her.
One day, Margot applies for a casting call for actors to appear in a commercial for a popular department store where her husband also works. This is a lifetime opportunity for Margot, and she is asked to put her acting skills to the test by posing as the store's new general manager, a scheme created by the store's owner. While working here, she falls in love with José Antonio, the stores owner's grandson, thus making her feel young again. However, their relationship will face rough challenges such as José Antonio girlfriend, Estefania, who cannot understand why he is in love with a woman old enough to be his mother while ignoring her youthful beauty.[7]
