Leticia Martínez is fifteen years old and has always had good grades at school. Until she bumps into Latin and gets the first bad marks. Her best friend, Luismi, tells her that he is turning his bike into a time machine. With his help, Leticia manages to take an "intensive course" in Latin in classical Rome. Gladia, an elegant patrician lady, welcomes her as an au pair for her two children. For a few days, Leticia discovers how the ancient Romans had fun, going to the circus races and popular country parties.
