"Providing equal footing in Ignacio's furtive love affair with Evaristo Rivas (Zurita) and Amada's conjugal misery for unknowingly marrying a gay man, Pablos tries arduously to sift out something more palatable to today's taste, although he has not much leeway since the whole affair is a brutal tragedy of homophobia and unlawful persecution happened over a century ago. Ergo, Amada's plight is limned in minutiae, often framed in the center of a symmetrical background, she is seen rigidly entrapped in a mirthless environment, she and Ignacio's wedding night intercourse is the antithesis of sexual gratification, she is bewildered and demoralized, aggravated by Ignacio's constant absence (wallowing in the fraternal company inside the secret club), and no tidings of bundle of joy, Amada is on the verge of going off the deep end, until she discovers Ignacio's secrecy and slowly, the table begins to turn."
