The story

Severiano has always been a farmer, tending a melon patch close to Madrid. As the expanding city makes his land valuable, he sells it for a substantial sum and moves into construction, but his newfound wealth does not change his modest way of life. His daughter returns from the United Kingdom with plans to formally introduce her boyfriend, a count. Disapproving of her father's unpolished habits, she persuades him to buy another house and learn etiquette before arranging a meeting between their families.
