Context

In 1989, Joaquin Maria Puyal was assigned as director and presenter of a debate program that aired on Friday nights, La Vida en un XIP , just after the news. In order to maintain viewers, he decided to create a small series of fiction that would link the news and the debate program, with a plot that would be related to the topic addressed.
