The series's name is a common shortening of "mitad y mitad", literally meaning half and half.
The series revolves around Néstor, a disobliged fifty year old, who wins the lottery and must share his prize with his wife, Olivia.
Plot
editNéstor is maintained by his wife Olivia, she is fed up with the situation and asks for a divorce, but just when he is about to stay on the street, he receives a stroke of luck that changes his destiny. Néstor wins the lottery, 200 million pesos, which by law he will have to share with his wife Olivia, but he will not be willing to share his money with the woman he loathes with all his soul. For Néstor, the solution will be to reconquer his wife and thus avoid the divorce that will force him to share his fortune. To achieve that goal, he'll need the help of his close friends Silvio and Mariana.
When Olivia discloses to her father her wishes to divorce Néstor, he informs her that the papers she recently signed gave her ownership of his valuable law firm and divorcing Néstor would mean giving Néstor half of this fortune. Reluctantly, Olivia will have to reconquer her husband and avoid divorcing in order to keep from sharing her new found wealth.
