Joaquin awakens to the sound of his wife shutting the door when she leaves him. He wakes their son Fernando a young man. It's quickly clear why she left: they live like pigs and do nothing around the flat except eat and watch TV. In desperation they go to the rest home where the wife's mother lives; they stand in the doorway looking in at the residents celebrating Mass. Lourdes sees them waves and they invite her home. Once she sees that they just want her to cook and clean what will she do?
