Sample Text
When Miriam, the wife of a wealthy businessman, discovers her husband has been having an affair and wants to divorce her, she is devastated. However, when she meets a middle-aged couple who have fallen on hard times, she takes them in as guests in her large but lonely house. So begins her 'adoption' of the city's outcasts, who include an elderly man recently released from hospital and a woman with a sick infant. However, although her house guests provide valuable companionship and satisfy her desire to give of her material wealth, Miriam soon discovers that some of her companions are not as honest as she might think. Loosely based on Luis Bunuel's scathing classic Viridiana.
