[1] A local radio station decides to try out an experiment and offers the first homeless man that walks by the chance of becoming a millionaire for a day.

The fortunate man, Pablo Rojas (Adalberto Martinez), sleeps with other homeless people on the floor of a shelter.

After living a day of luxury, he returns to the shelter to tell his friends that the life of a millionaire was not much different from their own: They ate, slept and worked whenever they wanted; the only difference was that the rich had ulcers.
