In the movie 'Dad or Mom,' the main characters, Florencia (played by Silvia Navarro) and Vicente (played by Mauricio Ochmann), are faced with a difficult situation as they go through a divorce. Despite their separation, they are both eager to advance in their careers and are willing to go to great lengths to avoid taking on the responsibility of caring for their children.
Florencia, a dedicated and ambitious lawyer, is offered a prestigious position at a new firm. However, she is hesitant to accept the offer due to the demanding nature of the job, which would require her to work long hours and travel frequently. Similarly, Vicente, a talented architect, is presented with an exciting opportunity to lead a high-profile project, but it too would require him to be away from home for extended periods.
Despite their desire to pursue these opportunities, Florencia and Vicente are reluctant to take on the responsibility of full-time parenting. They both worry that their demanding careers would not allow them to give their children the attention and care they deserve. As a result, they come up with a plan to try and outdo each other in terms of providing for their children, hoping that the other will ultimately concede custody. However, as they compete with each other, they soon realize the importance of their roles as parents and the impact their absence would have on their children.
