Synopsis

Season 1 (2017)

The series revolves around millions of students in the world who turn to night education as the only way to get ahead. They will be represented by Amelia (Carolina Acevedo), Muriel (Jimena Durá), Luis Herney (José Daniel Cristancho), Faber (Jimmy Vásquez), Ingrid (Yuri Vargas), Germán (Ernesto Ballén), Alejandro (Manuel Prieto) and Doña Pilar (Consuelo Luzardo), who study a technical career at Graham University, with the illusion of fulfilling the dream of obtaining an academic degree that opens the doors in the labor market to improve their quality of life. These eight characters will find countless obstacles, personal and professional, that will test their ability to get ahead in the midst of family, work and economic obligations that they must overcome if they want to become future business managers. Amelia, mother and wife; Muriel, a former secretary; Luis Herney, former convict who works in a workshop; Germán, a peasant boy newly arrived in the city; Faber and Ingrid, two chefs who dream of creating their own restaurant and Doña Pilar, a woman of almost 70 years. They will meet every night in a classroom with the conviction that it is never too late to start over.

Season 2 (2020)

Mario (Jorge Enrique Abello) and Esther (Marcela Carvajal) return to La Graham another year to complete a new semester in which they plan to inaugurate a new career: Law. In the classrooms, the lives of seven students will be crossed: Don Mariano (César Mora), a retired accountant who feels that it is never too late to fulfill his dream of becoming a lawyer; Alberto (Juan Pablo Llano), escort of an important magistrate; Margarita (Marianne Schaller), mother and wife who wants to show that she can also be a great professional. El Tanque (Jaisson Jeack), a soccer player in the twilight of his career; Valery (Rosmeri Marval), an immigrant who arrives in the country in search of new opportunities; Karen (Michelle Orozco), a young woman who wants to do justice, and Cristian (Brian Moreno), a millennial who sees in Law the opportunity to earn money. In a country that tops the list with the largest number of lawyers in the world, La Graham students and professors will overcome personal, work and economic obstacles, with the dream of graduating from professionals who can improve justice that is not always favorable.
