Copla
Lola and Luis are married until Manuel shows up and grabs Lola (and Trini, a florist friend and also a singer). This story of torn love will seem like the lyrics of a copla, the Spanish music genre to which both are dedicated, songs that border on love until death and that classically represent the absolute surrender of women to love. This love for Manuel divides the marriage and the friends.
