Synopsis

The story of five women whose shared motto is to be true to oneself. That’s their aim. And it’s no easy task when, at the same time, you have to be a self-sacrificing girlfriend or wife, a devoted mother, and a competent professional on the job… Nor is it an attainable goal when, to be true to yourself, you often have to be untrue in other ways, irrespective of what society sanctions or the criticism of others. Arlet, Joana, Paula, Lidia and Cruz. School-teacher, housewife, journalist, psychiatrist, and wealth management consultant. And they all have something in common. First off, they’re all friends. Inseparable friends, who love and protect one another, who share the fun in moments of joy and console one another in moments of grief. Second, none of them, from the sassiest to the shyest, is willing to go through life without being the one to choose her own destiny. But above all, their common denominator is that they will all be forced to make a choice, a last opportunity cast up by life… Depending on age, they might be ready to taste forbidden fruit or salvage themselves with one last love affair. Or they might have to decide whether to break with social conventions or get caught up in them forever. They might have to choose between keeping a secret that could change their life forever or being honest, even if this could plunge them headlong into disaster. Or perhaps one fine day a medical report might reveal that their use-by date won’t last beyond the winter. Extreme situations that force our protagonists to fight to be themselves above all else. This is the story, or rather stories, told in “Infidelity”. A series about ordinary yet exceptional people, like many of those whose paths we cross in the street; the true anonymous heroes of the day-to-day. People who endure crises and irreparable loss yet who, along the way, are happy whenever they can be. And they stick it out: living and fighting each day with that feeling that life is the time that goes by while you’re out there working or fulfilling your obligations. How many novels or movies are hidden out there behind those faces we see in the subway, stuck in a traffic jam or walking the kids to school..?! The faces of people like Arlet, Joana, Paula, Lidia and Cruz. Women of today for a series about today.
