Househusband

Interpreted by: Rolando Tarajano 

43 years old. Business manager. He worked his whole life in the banking sector. He began as a cashier when he was very young, then worked in customer service, and ended up as a financial analyst. He dreams of being the bank manager, buying a brand new car for the first time, buying a house with a garden, having his own secretary, coffee maker and cookies just for him; he has fought for this status since he entered the bank just out of college.

Interpretado por: Katherine Vélez 

43 years old. She is typical the good wife. Faithful, dedicated to her son, her husband, even though he doesn’t love her so much anymore. She manages her home better than anybody. She doesn’t like her name, having gotten pregnant so young and having to get married. She would give her life for her family, even though her youthful years were lost forever. She doesn’t wear makeup, always wears a ponytail, simple dresses with a sweater over them, most of them worn out; she rarely goes to the beauty salon, and buys her clothes on special sales. She loves Reggeaton music, but only her friends know and Francisco because he hears her hum any song that plays on the radio. Her hands sweat when she gets nervous.

She is the leader of the Vigor’s clan, dreams of being independent from her husband, make her own money, and as any housewife she fears that her husband could leave her for a bank executive and she can’t support her son by herself, which is why she wants to start her own cookie and dessert business.

Interpreted by: Marcelo Dos Santos

42 years old. A sexist, he doesn’t like his wife to work or do anything other than take care of the household; that’s what wives are for. For him, marriage is seriousness in love; other women are for diversion and recognition. But don’t ever think of telling him to leave Bertha, divorce from her, and fall in love because he won’t put up with it. He only married once, had a child once, and that’s it; the rest is to entertain the soul. Robert is a paranoid man; everything he does he revises and measures from a legal point of view, assessed by his best friend Javier, a 38 years old, and legal advisor of the bank where they work.

Interpreted by: Diana Neira 

21 years old, Francisco and Mariana’s daughter, she is going to college on her second semester of business administration. With one drink she takes off her clothes and sleeps with her friends. She doesn’t have a close relationship with her parents, being more close to Mariana than with Francisco. She is independent; doesn’t ask them for money; she designs and makes bathing suits that she sells at college. She doesn’t have any female friends, but she relates very well with men. She is a much desired woman at school, but that’s it; she doesn’t want anything serious, she doesn’t believe in love, doesn’t want any commitments or to be attached to anyone. She wants to finish her career and go to Europe to see the world of fashion and continue with her bathing suit designs.

Interpreted by: José Julián Gaviria 

16 years old. Francisco and Mariana’s son. He is surprisingly in tenth grade. He is a shy young man that doesn’t fit in socially and begins to explore different urban tribes in the city. He begins with the Gothics, dresses like them, wants to think and feel like them, but he can’t. This situation depresses him and makes him change tribe, always changing his look, his hair, and his way of talking. This circumstance confronts him with his father until he is able to understand that instead of getting mad at him he has to support him so that Diego can understand what he wants, and help him to decide where his life is going to. He is an artist, he loves to invent performances where he mixes and expresses his feeling and the reality of his life. Surprisingly, his little sister is his great confident, his accomplice, who shares and pushes him to do crazy things for his age.

Interpretado por: Sebastián Gutierrez 

11 years old. Bertha and Roberto’s son. He’s in the Boy Scouts, always ready; he’s always wearing his Boy Scout uniform and has a bag full of things to go on an excursion. He’s always paying attention to everything that happens with his family and the residential unit; he’s very nosy. If he hears a home accident, he’ll arrive with his first aid kit; if he hears that Francisco’s children are going somewhere, he’ll want to go. And he greets everyone by their last names, very respectfully he says, “good morning Mr. Lopez, hello Mrs. Lopez, hi Ms. Lopez.”

Interpreted by: Marcela Agudelo 

48 years old. She is the oldest of the Vigor’s clan, the one that has been living the longest in the “Los Faroles” Residential Unit. She has been married for more than 25 years with Ramiro, but her marriage should’ve been over about ten years ago. She has a terrible relationship with her husband, Ramiro, who doesn’t speak to her anymore and hardly even determines her. What Rebeca doesn’t understand is why he doesn’t leave her so she can live in peace. Ramiro, a 53 years old accountant, is quiet and shy, that looks like a philosophy professor, with a pipe and a book always in his hand, but he can be aggressive when Rebeca annoys him. He has hit her many times, a situation that Rebeca hides from her friends because of embarrassment.

She lives with her mother-in-law, Sandra, 65 years old, a bitter woman that makes her life impossible.

With time she will realize that her husband’s long trips are because he has another woman. Her mother in law is an accomplice of this situation. She’s always in her pajamas with the baby hanging on her back with a sling.
