Father There Is Only One

Father There Is Only One centres on Javier, a father of five children aged between four and twelve who is convinced he knows exactly how a household should be run even though he leaves the housework and the parenting to his wife, Marisa. When she goes away on a trip and leaves him in charge, he has to cope alone with the children, and the disorder at home grows steadily until it turns into chaos. The experience also gives the parents and the children a chance to get to know one another properly.
