Al fondo hay sitio (Spanish: There's Room in the Back) is a Peruvian comedy television series released in March 2009 by Efraín Aguilar. The story revolves around two very different families living in the same neighbourhood, the Gonzales (a low-class family who have just moved from Huamanga, Ayacucho) and the Maldini (a rich and powerful family with a high economic status). It is one of the most popular telenovelas in Peru and is now being shown in Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay.
One of the most exclusive areas of Lima, "Las Lomas", is shaken up by the arrival of the Gonzales family from Huamanga, Ayacucho. The family settled in a half-built house they inherited. Their peasant traditions infuriate the neighbors, especially the family living opposite them, the Maldinis. The Maldinis are the richest family in all of Las Lomas, however, they still cannot find a way to get rid of the newcomers. Amid this confrontation, the Ferrands, another neighboring family, befriend the newcomers.
Pepe and Tito receive an offer from Miguel Ignacio for $120,000. Pepe was about to accept, but just his mother and the family of his deceased brother arrived, so he decided to reject M. Ignacio's offer. Nelly realizes that her son was going to sell the house, without giving the part of it to Lucho, so they decide to go to Miguel Ignacio to reject her offer. This angry one swears that sooner or later he will destroy that house.
Joel, Charo's son, meets Fernanda, Miguel Ignacio's daughter, in whom he falls in love with her at first sight, and greets her by dancing and asking her name in badly pronounced English. Which he dislikes and runs away from the new neighbor. Meanwhile, Grace, Charo's youngest daughter, can't stand life in Lima and prefers to return to Huamanga, where she left her crush Kevin, so she decides to elope at night from home. But he is run over by Nicolás, the eldest son of M. Ignacio and Isabella. Terrified he asks Peter for help and they take her to the nearest clinic. Peter forces Nicolás to stay with Grace, she wakes up in the morning and falls in love with him at first sight, Nicolás lies to the doctor who is in love with him so they won't press charges.
Miguel Ignacio is unfaithful to Isabella, with his secretary named Liliana, one day they meet Pepe and Tito on the bus, the latter falls in love with Liliana and tries to woo her, which she is indifferent to this, because for her Tito is a poor boy, unlike Miguel Ignacio, who promised to leave his family for her.
Fernanda, has a lover who does not belong to the same sociocultural class that they usually frequent, so they reject that relationship, especially Miguel Ignacio, who on a date with Liliana, hears Fabricio talking on the phone that he would take his girlfriend to a "telo" (a hostel that couples go to), which Miguel Ignacio disliked and ordered Peter to throw him out of the house. Fernanda in revenge decides to use Joel to anger her family.
Camila, Fernanda's best friend, gives her advice to invite Joel to her house, which Fernanda dislikes but accepts. Her family gets angry at the beginning, but Peter advises them that only a rebellious stage and the best thing is that they continue with Fernanda's game. The Gonzales arrive at night to celebrate the "union" of the couple. Fernanda realizes that things are getting out of hand, Joel tries to kiss her, but Fernanda pushes him away and confesses that she only did that to annoy her family, which depresses Joel and her family is offended by the house of the Maldini. Meanwhile Liliana and Tito both reconcile and confirm their wedding to the Gonzales, to Miguel Ignacio's disgust.
Minutes later, Liliana decides not to marry Tito on the very day of her marriage and leaves him planted at the altar. She then she goes to the construction company and asks Miguel Ignacio to elope together. But Miguel Ignacio warns her that he will never marry her, because he does not want to abandon his family. Consequently, Liliana, regretful of everything that has happened, decides to move away from "Las Lomas" forever, after having lost the opportunity to be happy because of her ambition. But it was too late, because Isabella, after discovering that they were both lovers, decides to divorce Miguel Ignacio and throws him out of the house.
