Plot
editEsperanza is a beautiful, gluttonous, and helpful novice in a cloistered convent. Raised there since childhood, her uneventful life takes a turn when she secretly eats some unusual mushrooms given to her by Oaxacan Indians. This transforms her into Brenda, a bold and shameless woman. Brenda crashes a party at a high-society family's home, where she meets wealthy university students Luis, Pablo, Alberto, Bernardo, and Miguel, the only one who calls her Domitila.
Led by Brenda, the group quickly becomes a gang of mischief-makers, pulling off various pranks throughout Mexico City. Their antics escalate when they decide to kidnap Salvador Montesinos, the president of the Bankers' Association. The commissioner of the International Surveillance Agency is determined to capture the "dangerous subversive" leader of the gang. Meanwhile, Miguel falls in love with Brenda and discovers her dual personality. Finally, AIV agents identify the novice and head to the convent to apprehend her.
