Synopsis

Everything in this world is linked in a certain way. These are ten stories of betrayed women and men, pushed to the brink, with hope, with pain, lost, abandoned to their fate and their love. Immersed in their stories, they have no idea of the vicissitudes and discoveries they may face if something takes them out of their routine, but they share something: the fear of freedom. Julia and Ramiro, a common couple, with common fights and disagreements. Natalia and Vicente, thrown at the end of a relationship that doesn't give for more. Gino, a survivor thanks to the sale of drugs. Artemio, forever in love with Doña Clarita, the owner of the hotel where he abandons himself to alcohol and his memories. Patricio, who takes justice into his own hands. Susana, a loving mother who doesn't know what to do with her free time, and her husband, Tomás, Julia's lover. [3]
