The show tells the story of two couples: Mário Jorge and Celinha, and Arnaldo and Rita. Previously, Mário Jorge was married to Rita and had two children, Isadora and Tatalo; and, curiously enough, Arnaldo and Celinha were also married and had son Adonis. Even separated, all meet every day, since they are neighbors in the Jambalaya apartment building, stage of all classes of confusion. The building still counts on the presence of the perverted síndica of the building, "Dona" Álvara, and the two families' maid Bozena, an amusing duck-whistler who observes and participates in the two families' confused lives, along with the beloved Copelia, Celinha's mother, who brings more excitement to everyone's lives.

Largely set in a teacher's lounge, the show centers on the faculty of a junior high school.
