Plot

Many women from the Women's Section of the Falange in the 50's went to America by boat to show the folklore of Spain in all their countries. The show was an entertainment for the émigrés who were on the other side of the Atlantic. The women left their homes and embarked on "Mount Albertia". On the boat trip, the relationship between all the crew members was the most fun, although many of them longed for their place of origin. Wherever they go, luck is on their side.
