* BasedOnATrueStory: the whole "cow falling from the sky and killing someone" is based on an actual event, although the cow was Russian and the people it fell on were the crew of a Japanese fishing boat
Added DiffLines:
* DoggedNiceGuy: gender-flipped with Mari, persistent in her affections for Roberto despite him showing little to no interest in her
Added DiffLines:
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Roberto is depicted as being a fundamentally nice guy, just with little to no patience for his fellow man
Added DiffLines:
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Mari is a somewhat low-intensity version of this, interested in the significantly more boring Roberto and trying to get him to open up and be less dour

Then, he meets Jun.
Jun is a Chinese man who has been thrown out of a taxi. He runs up to Roberto to plead for help…in Chinese. Roberto only understands Spanish, so this proves a problem. However, he helps Jun, giving him his food and giving him a ride home, wherever that is. But Jun vomits in the car, prompting Roberto to oust him from the car.
But guilt convinces him to go back and pick him up once it starts raining.
Such begins a comedy of errors with many surprising [[PlotTwist Plot Twists]], laughs, and even dramatic moments.
