SYNOPSIS

Two families from opposed worlds have to live together in the same house. “Que pobres tan ricos” is a story of love, romance, encounters and countless funny moments between these two families: the rich and aristocratic Ruizpalacios family and the poor and goodhearted Menchaca family.

The rich and handsome Miguel Ángel comes back to Mexico after 11 years in London. His cousin Alejo, who in reality hates him and wants everything he owns, involves him in a big fraud, which causes Miguel Ángel and the rest of the Ruizpalacios family lose their fortune and patrimony, except one property at the poor La Napolera neighborhood, exactly where the poor Menchaca resides.

Don Chuy Menchaca met many years ago Don Aureliano Ruizpalacios, Miguel Ángel’s granddad, and has been slowly paying him for the property. He lives in the modest house, where he set up a small gym, with his children José Tizoc, Perla Ivette and Lupita, the eldest, who has a son named Emiliano.

Forced by the circumstances, Don Chuy has to accept the now poor Ruizpalacios family living in his house. When the two eccentric families meet, many funny situations occur. The clash in the habits and costumes of each family is inevitable, and in such a chaotic and funny environment, Lupita Menchaca and Miguel Ángel Ruizpalacios, end up falling in love.
