A Boyfriend for My Wife
2008
Synopsis
"El Tenso" doesn´t know how to deal with the problem of telling his wife, "the Tana", that he wants to get separated because the relationship is untenable due to her extremely bad temper. She lives constantly morose: if she´s not complaining about the weather, it is about the government; if it´s not the neighbors that bother her, it is young people, old people... and so it goes.
Carlos, a friend of "el Tenso", suggests that he reverses the problem... and cause "la Tana" to leave him. How? "el Tenso" wonders, so Carlos makes the proposal to resort to the "Cuervo Flores", an irresistible seducer who will seduce his wife leading her to an infatuation, so that "el Tenso" finally finds a solution to his problems...
