In a male-dominated comedy scene, Gabi, a thirty-something Latina, struggles to make her mark. By imitating the strong women in her family, she breaks through. One day, before a stand-up comedy open mic, Tía Mayra gives Gabi a makeover. Gabi rushes to the open mic to find that her fellow comedians do not recognize her. Instead, they suggest she "go to the cumbia club around the corner." Gabi realizes that Tía Mayra’s makeover gives her a whole new persona. Inspired, she decides to use a stage name, Mariposa. On stage, she impersonates her Tía Mayra and gets laughs. As a result, Gabi, aka Mariposa, gets asked to perform in her first real comedy show. Cousin Itza, the most chismosa, knows about Gabi’s show and tells Tía Mayra and Consuelo(Gabi's Mom). The three women attend the show! Gabi is surprised to see them, but she continues with the performance. Tía Mayra and Itza are offended by Gabi's act, while Consuelo is happy to see her directionless daughter be passionate about something. In the end, Gabi develops confidence by being vulnerable in front of her family and taking a risk on stage.
