With an original script by Estella Calderón and directed and starred by Rafael Banquells besides Maria Teresa Rivas and Mauricio Garcés, Gutierritos is about a humble man abused by his family, friends, and co-workers.
His wife Rosa, who treats him very badly and humiliates him all the time, despises him for being "so pathetic", having only married him because she felt it was her last opportunity to do so, fearing growing old alone.
Their children, Julio César and Lucrecia, do not respect their father either, after years of seeing their mother constantly mistreating him and calling him "a pathetic, good for nothing".
While initially reluctantly, Jorge, growing tired of Ángel's cowardice, does not clear up the misunderstanding and continues to enjoy the fame, the success and Elena's love.
After enduring so much humiliation and suffering the progressive loss of his friend, his book, his family and his dignity, Ángel finally explodes and tries to tell the truth, but no one believes him.
