Plot

Serafín is a happy and good-natured angel, with one small flaw: he is very mischievous. One day in Heaven he gets into so much trouble that he is sent to Earth to learn how to be a Guardian Angel. When he arrives on earth, Serafín is very frightened by what he sees, and not knowing what to do, he finds refuge and unexpected help in an old abandoned house in Mexico City. Once there, Serafín meets Pepe, a very unhappy boy, who lives with his mother Carmen, his grandfather Joaquin, and his abusive stepfather Raul. Serafín is determined to bring happiness into Pepe's life and becomes his Guardian Angel. Together they learn great life lessons and experience the most incredible adventures. Pepe and Serafín are put to the test when a mysterious man and his two companions move into the abandoned house. No one suspects that the man is Lucio Fernández, a dark agent of the devil. Lucio's mission is to wipe every scrap of love from the face of the Earth, and he is prepared to destroy any angel or child who dares to cross his path, for they are the embodiment of innocence, friendship and love. As time goes by, Lucio employs every villain on earth in order to accomplish his mission. Only the love, perseverance, friendship and affection of Pepe and his friends, guided by Serafín, can save the day.
