Marcos stands next to his wife Berta Berta Ruiz at the subway as she sells clocks and sweets at a stand. He travels to the airport to meet the generals uppermiddle class daughter, Ana Anapola Mushkadiz whom he has known since she was a child. Ana orders Marcos to take her to the boutique where she works in the sex trade. While driving, Marcos is very distracted, and at one point stalls the car. Ana recognises that something is wrong, but Marcos claims hes distracted only because of his wifes supposed ill health.Ana invites Marcos into the boutique so that he can have sex with one of her friends. Marcos is apparently not aroused by the friend. The friend tells Ana that Marcos would prefer her instead. Ana goes to talk to Marcos, and reminds him that they have known each other since her childhood. Marcos then reveals that he and his wife kidnapped a baby but the baby died before they could collect any ransom. Ana seems to remain composed at hearing this news. ........
