Summary: Martina, a charming cockroach, seeks love but is clueless about marriage. Her grandmother suggests a unique test: spill coffee on suitors' shoes to gauge their temper. As each fails the Coffee Test, Martina questions if true love is possible. Will she find a partner who passes this unusual trial, or is she destined to remain alone? Dive into this whimsical retelling of a Cuban folktale, where a little green cockroach's quest for love is as unpredictable as it is heartwarming.
