    • Emilia a housewife overwhelmed by the mediocrity of her life, her fai- lure of a husband and her oppressive and poorly managed mother- hood, feels that life is passing her by. One day, the same awful day that her faraway lover leaves her, the credit card she has been playing cat and mouse with for months is cancelled. In her empty soulless apartment, Emilia decides to act on what she has long contemplated, suicide. Curiously enough, her death brings her two-timing husband and elusive lover together.
