Papá a la deriva (English: Dad Adrift) was a Chilean telenovela produced and broadcast by Mega. It premiered on May 25, 2015, replacing Pituca Sin Lucas.
The story follows the life of Bruno Montt (Gonzalo Valenzuela), a navy captain with four children. He is strict and fearless. The plot starts from the day that one of his son's, Cristóbal Montt (Simón Pesutic), arrives in Valparaíso. He's greeted by his three siblings who have all been up to trouble at school recently. That same day, Bruno gets a call from the school principal (Paulina Hunt) saying that the children have done terrible things at school. His son Arturo (Nahuel Cantillano) uploaded naked photos of his teachers. His daughter Esmeralda (Li Fridman) bribed a teacher to get out of physical education. Finally, his daughter Marina (Giulia Inostroza) robbed her teacher's makeup.
Things get even worse for Bruno, his children are very mischievous and the only person who had been taking care of the house and keeping things in order was the butler Eugenio Padilla (Claudio Arredondo). One day, Bruno goes out and leaves Eugenio in charge of the house, but seeing as he can't manage the kids on his own he calls his daughter Violeta (María Gracia Omegna). She works on a boat at the Muelle Prat port, she lost her house in the 2014 fires in Valparaíso. Violeta will make the captain a better person by telling him that rules were meant to be broken, and not necessarily to be followed. Bruno is attracted to Violeta from the start, however she has a jealous boyfriend Matías (Ignacio Achurra), the waiter at the restaurant "El Bote Salvavidas" ("The lifesaving boat" in English).
However, the captain's secretary, Rosario (Francisca Imboden) tries to distance Bruno from Violeta and would do anything to get money and satisfy her and her daughter Barbara's needs (Francisca Walker).
Bruno has to learn that his rank as captain won't help him control his children and he has to understand that only through love can he overcome his problems.
