Alberto is in his early forties and has worked for Don Antonio on and off for a number of years. This time, he is picked up for a job but the description is incredibly vague. He finds himself left at one of Don's properties where Don's estranged wife Lila has been sent after a scandal. 

An interesting and engaging observation on how class impacts on relationships and how much people are willing to put up with.
