Pituca sin lucas (English title: Fancy Woman Without Money)[1] is a Chilean romantic comedy television show created by Rodrigo Bastidas and Elena Muñoz, that premiered on Mega on October 13, 2014 and ended on May 25, 2015.[2] Starring Paola Volpato and Alvaro Rudolphy, and directed by Patricio Gonzalez, Pablo Aedo, Felipe Arratia, and Mauricio Lucero,[3] Pituca sin lucas was filmed by Chilefilms studios.

Pituca sin lucas is about a wealthy woman who, after being abandoned by her husband, must adjust to a new economic reality. She decides to live in a middle-class neighborhood where she finds love and emotional stability with a widower that works on a fish and seafood market.[4] The story is set between La Dehesa in Lo Barnechea, one of the highest income neighborhoods[5] of the Santiago Metropolitan Region, and Maipú, a middle class[6] commune of the same region.

Plot

[edit]

The fall of Tichi Risopatrón has been brutal. Thunderous. Especially because this woman has never worked for anyone, nor is she a homemaker: she does not know how to cook, has never used a microwave and lives isolated from what happens in the real world. But her new status as a working and courageous woman helps her to become a new Tichi, one she never even knew existed: a strong woman that is able to support her family and do the unimaginable to provide for her young daughters. In fact, she doesn’t even have problems moving from her super mansion in La Dehesa to a semi-detached house in a middle-class neighborhood.

Can Tichi adapt to her new status, learn to work and avoid falling for her new neighbor, who attracts her so passionately? Can they give in to this budding love they are feeling? They can try to avoid fate, but nothing will change the destiny of these two clandestine lovers.
