Esperanza makes a hole in the wall of her bedroom to get into the niche of the goddess Hebe and have secret meetings with her lover, the young Candido. The slave Rustic, who is in love with the same man, discovers the deception and takes the opportunity to impersonate Esperanza.
Thus, a hole in the wall is the engine of this story. A hole through which love and humor, the two fundamental weapons to overthrow prejudices, are poured.
