Synopsis
ALICIA DE ORJUELA seemed to have the perfect life. 10 years ago she arrived, with her husband Pablo and her son Julián, to a residential neighborhood in Buenos Aires. Now she is dead. And it is her own voice that tells why it was so surprising to everyone that she had shot herself. From her point of view, Alicia will see much more being dead than alive and she will share with all of us the secrets that the beautiful and seemingly perfect houses of Manzanares hide. This fun drama with shades of black humor takes place in this immigrant neighborhood of Buenos Aires.
Through Alicia's voice we will learn about the lives of her four neighbors and friends: SUSANA MARTINEZ, LINA YEPES, GABRIELA RAMOS and EUGENIA DE KOPPEL, who will try to reveal the big secret that led Alicia to make such a decision, while they try to deal with with their housewife routines, without desperation being able to overcome them.
