Is a collection of short stories centered on the urban middle class in Bogotá. The book highlights the "social mask"—the exhausting effort to appear successful and joyful at social events while hiding private poverty, loneliness, and professional failure. Luis Fayad uses a style of Social Realism to show how the city erodes the dreams of its inhabitants, replacing them with a monotonous, often invisible struggle for dignity.
