An outcast, Rodolfo Martínez, whom no one loves and whom everyone despises and undervalues in his town of Valle Verde, in Mexico, decides to change his luck. He decides to invent that he has a very important ancestor and that is why he deserves a statue that will remind future generations of everything he has done. Rodolfo doesn't care what happens, all he wants is to stop being a failure and for people to see him as an equal.
