Nico (Alberto San Juan) is the owner of an Irish pub named Cheers. He is a former soccer player, womanizer, vain and a little bit illiterate who cannot help flirting with any attractive woman he sees in his way. Félix Antonio Resines is a psychiatrist very much analytic and unsure who is forced to look for alternative jobs. Alexandra Jiménez is Rebeca, a cultured woman who has seen herself forced to work as waitress after her father went bankrupt.
