Raúl, Eduardo, and Santiago have led a happy masculine life from childhood, until one day Santiago tells the others that he is gay. Impulsive Raul, the alpha male, is homophobic and tries to convince Santiago that his is no more than simple sexual confusion. But when the situation becomes unsustainable, Eduardo and Raul set aside their prejudices and decide to help Santiago to venture into his new gay life. Raúl, Santiago, and Eduardo are lifelong buddies who enjoy typical masculine pastimes together. Santiago is engaged to be married to Raúl's sister, but the couple's sex life has been nonexistent. While the three men are showering together after soccer practice, Santiago finally reveals that he's interested in men and has started dating a man. His straight friend Eduardo, a worldly and comically sexually open-minded hairdresser and the only one of the three whose mannerisms fit gay stereotypes, is immediately supportive, but his straight friend Raúl can't accept that his buddy is gay. He sets out to cure his friend's "illness" by various means, including investing in a call girl and flying in a specialist from the U.S. who offers laughable conversion-therapy techniques. Finally he starts to accept Santiago as he is.
