“I hope you're happier than a lobster.”
Manuela is a sensual medical representative. She is accustomed to walking the path of infidelity, recklessly involving herself with doctors. Suspended between the dream of a great love and a life of comfort, she oscillates in limbo between a man who has panic attacks every time he falls in love and a romantic terrorist who will never forgive betrayal. Between the impulse to cheat and the transparency of emotional dependence, Manuela exposes herself... In an escalation of anxiety, lies, and creativity, she will desperately try to avoid the marital consequences.
