Synopsis
Ernesto Pimentel, a boy raised in a modest home, faced the loss of his mother at an early age, leaving him in the care of his grandmother and uncle. Her childhood inspired the creation of La Chola CHABUCA, a character with colorful skirts and high heels who conquered the hearts of millions of homes throughout Peru. Despite the personal challenges and the revelation of his identity, Ernesto found in CHABUCA the support of his followers and the strength to pursue his deepest dream: to be a father and share love and laughter throughout the country on national television and on one of the most important circuses in the country.[7]
