Paco loves wearing informal clothes. But he has to abandon his usual leisure wear for one day, because today is a special day. He has an appointment with a General Manager of an important bank. He intends to deposit his money in the most suitable one. In these cases, the personal image is quite relevant. So he decides to go shopping and buy a new suit. His sister Sonia and his mother go with him.
They are having a look in a shop. Sonia is helping her brother to choose a nice suit. She is looking for vivid colours and modern clothes. However, Paco's mother is taking formal suits for him.
Paco isn't enjoying a lot with this. In fact, he is suffering too much because he doesn't like going shopping. In spite of that, they are having a good time.
