Las Estrellas is a romantic comedy that has the look, pace and content of a contemporary comedy, but catchy and addictive like a classic daily drama. Las Estrellas is about five Estrella sisters who, after the death of their father, face a challenge of living by their own.

They will try to learn to tolerate one another while grieving their father, each in their own way.
