María belongs to the upper bourgeoisie and has always had everything in life, even a brilliant, cultured husband; in short, an intellectual worth boasting about. Alejandro, on the other hand, has risen day by day, has grown through his work, believing in himself—he’s an economist—has fought with all his might to achieve a higher social status, and has achieved it. He is a university professor, an executive at a large company, the owner of a beautiful villa in the suburbs. However, he finds himself at a critical age, at the age of taking stock of his past, of justifying his reasons. And the truth is that, despite his material success, he is not happy; he finds no reason for his participation in society, he is dissatisfied with anything. He is, in short, one step away from his inner failure. In this situation, he discovers, in turn, that María accuses him of having dedicated more time to success than to loving her, that she wants to separate. In short, his failure is, more than intimate, it is total.
