He has everything that the destiny wanted and that he has been able to expand: fertile lands as far as the eye can see, cattle, exceptional wines and cigars matured in the long voyages of the boats coming directly from the Caribbean, more precisely from Cuba. He enjoys all this in his rich rural house, with his wife and two children, whom he very much likes, but which sometimes interrupt him to enjoy these pleasures. The disenchantment of the passionate routine always reminds him of the fabled memories of a moment in the past when, unexpectedly, he discovered in a handmaiden the surprising elevation of passion. Until the harlot appears to her at the Estate, untouched by the past fifteen years, purer than before and, even in her eyes, rejuvenated. But married, to a dangerous man.
