Storyline

Carmen and Alfredo have a wonderful life in Ciudad Satélite, a middle-class suburban area in Naucalpan, State of Mexico, and one of México City's suburbs. Their relationship is stable, they get along great and they have family and friends close by. A great opportunity for professional advancement requires them to move into the noisy and stressful Federal District (México City proper). Relationships there are cold and calculating as a result of the stress and competition typical of major cities and this change has a major impact on the couple.

A Sweet Romance!

Bittersweet story of the changes that occur in a healthy relationship when the variables are switched up. Misunderstandings and assumptions take their toll on this adorable couple who never stop loving each other.Set in a bustling Mexican city, there is the sense of urban futility that often shrouds that setting. (Case in point-you can't have a dog so you settle for a cat) People are portrayed as busier, ruder, more shallow. Values are forsaken...perhaps a bit too pat and predictable in that respect, but otherwise an enjoyable, believable tale. English subtitles were a little distracting but just for the first few minutes.
