Ignacio frightens old age, and to cope with his fear, he begins an affair with 30-year-old Daniela advokatessoy (Martha Mariana Castro), which unexpectedly falls in love. She loves it and insists that her elderly lover left the family. He is tormented by doubts, but no longer able to maintain at least a semblance of good relations with his wife. Most of all, Maria Inez shook her husband's absence at a gala dinner (for two, with candles), which she had prepared on the 27th anniversary of their marriage. Patriarch spree simply forgot to midnight protorchal a mistress.

All the secret becomes clear: first, Paulina (Margarita Grail), a friend of Maria Ines, saw Ignacio kissed Daniel and told him about it. And then the father has given Monica, eavesdrop on his phone explaining to another woman.
