Things are not going well for Gonzalo Montoya. At 30 he has no girlfriend (despite a mutual attraction between himself and his cousin Pilar), he is still a student, and his mother despairs over him. But Gonza is an intelligent, well-bred (if not well-dressed), kind-hearted young man. He gets on well with his downstairs neighbor Maité and is a wonderful tutor (and surrogate father) to her son Antonio. But in the eyes of his conservative society, he has a major defect: his propensity to think for himself. If he has failed his philosophy exam, it is precisely because he would not duplicate his professor's views. His latest idea: to apostatize. Needless to say, his decision marks the beginning of a long, long...Way of the Cross.
