Plot
Astrologer Lila (Len), literature teacher Margarita (de Palma), erotic-line telephonist Rosa (Blum), and recently divorced faithful wife Azucena (Gimnez) all live in the same apartment building. One night, they decide to go together to have fun by attending a show of male striptease. Juan (Luis Brandoni), the taxi driver who brings them to the club, pays attention to a conversation in which each of the women describe their own ideal of a man. From that moment on, Juan dedicates himself to woo each of them one by one by assuming the different personalities of each of the women's ideal man.
