Pilar is determined to do whatever she wants, even if it goes against her mother's wishes. Meanwhile, Samuel and Soledad each seem to have met someone who challenges them... and may change the course of their lives.

As Samuel tries to convince Soledad to attend the student demonstration, Fabiola goes to the pharmacy looking for much more than her son's cough syrup.

While things couldn't be going better for Samuel in the Colombian Air Force, his brother Pedro continues with his old antics, much to his mother's chagrin.

Fernando continues his push for a sister for Luchito, but Fabiola's not having it. Meanwhile, Soledad makes new and interesting acquaintances at college.

As they announce to their neighbors the news of her starting college and his first test flight, Soledad and Samuel's parents could not be prouder of them.

Aurelio and friends formulate a plan to go to the competition in place of Juli's father. But, how will she break to him that she doesn't want to go with him?

In 1971, in anticipation of the Pan American Games to be held in Cali, Colombia, the overwhelming pace of the city's development is the topic of conversation at a multifamily celebration.

At a New Year's gathering for the two families, different dynamics become apparent between different couples.

The closeness of two families from the same Colombian neighborhood, the Belalcazars and the Lizcanos, goes far beyond the proximity of their residences.

The famous Colombian series, "La sucursal del cielo" [Heaven's Subsidiary], focuses on such topics as the customs and traditions, forbidden love and race relations of three families living in the same neighborhood in Cali in 1971. The introduction features the popular salsa, "Agúzate" by Richie Ray and Bobby Cruz.

Mery continues with the preparation of her party, but has changed her mind about who to invite. Meanwhile, Juli resorts to a lie to avoid the pain of competing alongside her father.
