The Useless

Interpreted: Julían Arango

In this world there are many useless. Some are born that way and others, like Martin, are rendered useless. First, when he was ready to do his first big labor, the “delivery”, his mom thought it was a very inelegant way to bring a child into the world, with all the screaming and decided that he should be born by C-section. But the thing did not stop there. He grew up while being bathed, dressed, taken to and from school. Growing up, he managed to stay alone on the farm and there, by the hand of Rafael, the husband of his nanny, Teresa, he met the dance bands and Ruby, the woman of his life. With her he was free, he went out, danced, loved her and wanted to get married, but one day without further explanation he left him so that he could study, work, be someone in her life. But Martín did not want to be anyone without her. He tried to study, work and failed at everything. That's why now that his parents demand that he be someone in life, the only thing that occurs to him is to look for a woman to achieve it. He never lost his good humor, he never lost his ability to make fun of himself, nor to dream that he was going to achieve great projects, great companies. He never stopped loving Ruby. Nothing is impossible for him.

A rebel since she was a child, she fled her parents' home to study and work as a teacher in a town far from her own where she easily finds a position within the restricted social circle. All thanks to her position, but also to her beauty and her grace to dance. That's how she meets Martin and that's how she falls in love with him. She would have done everything for him, leaving town, her teaching career, everything. But one day she receives a call from Martin's mother who threatens her: she will have to leave her son or else he will lose everything. The opportunities to study and to be someone in life. Ruby knows that, along with her, a humble teacher from the town, Martín is not going to do anything and leaves him. She also leaves the town that rejected her for immorality and meets Mirando Zapata, an ex-Golf cadie who has just earned some money to finally start her own business. With Mirando Ruby comes to town and they build a big company. Leaving Martín, she renounces her love and after much begging she marries Mirando, whom she admires, but does not love. She is hardworking, overwhelming and the owner of an enviable beauty.

From a very young age and with the help of Ruby she discovered her love for dancing, there is nothing on earth that she likes more, that is why she took it on as a profession. She accidentally meets Martín with whom she ends up madly in love with her, with her way of being and her dancing, with her projects and her dreams. She fully trusts him and does not doubt for a moment that he is the man of her dreams and whom she wants to marry.

The strength a man needs to carry a golf bag for more than ten years at forty degrees Celsius in the shade, and under the most incredible rudeness and the most unfair humiliation; It is the strength that Mirando Zapata accumulated to be today one of the most important men in the shoe industry of his city. During all those years that he followed Pacho Martínez, Fernán Fernández and Gabo Gaviria, he did not stop thinking that one day he would raise enough money to set up a shoe business, and he would achieve enough fortune to enter the club and make those men that they had ignored him for so many years, they would talk to him face to face. With that same strength and patience, he met the woman of her life, nurtured her, made her her partner at work and later in her life. Hardly a man loves with greater dedication and generosity. He welcomes Martín Martínez, his son-in-law, into his family as if he were a son, without knowing that he is precisely his, who has captivated the elusive heart of his wife for many years.
