Al Fondo Hay Sitio

Al fondo hay sitio follows the tangled lives of families from different social and economic backgrounds in Peru, centering on clashes, alliances, romance, and everyday fights over money, status, and pride. The show tracks how old money and working-class neighborhoods rub up against each other, with characters like Francesca Maldini and Rosario Flores standing for opposing worlds. Humor and melodrama mix as personal ambitions, family loyalties, and social expectations create constant friction. Episodes balance lighter, comic moments with more serious conflicts, and the ensemble cast lets many small personal stories play out alongside larger community tensions, without revealing major plot twists or how arcs resolve.

Created by Efraín Aguilar and first broadcast in 2009, the series was produced for Peruvian television and relied on an ensemble cast to carry serialized, weekday-style storytelling that appealed to a broad domestic audience.

The series became one of Peru's most-watched television programs and was exported to neighboring countries like Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Its popularity helped keep conversations about class and social mobility on the national agenda, and it became a recognizable staple of regional TV schedules during its run.

Audience reception has been generally positive, reflected in a 7.8/10 vote average from viewers, and critics often noted its effective blend of comedy and drama. The show centers on themes of class division, family loyalty, and social aspiration, using everyday scenarios and strong character work to make those themes feel immediate and relatable to viewers.

While Al fondo hay sitio is best known for its strong domestic ratings and cultural presence in Peru, it does not have widely reported international awards. It received recognition within Peruvian television circles and media coverage tied to its popularity, though detailed, comprehensive listings of awards and nominations outside Peru are limited.
