This is a story of love and self-help.

Three women: Alicia, Violeta and Diana. A man, Jorge. One goal: the pursuit of happiness in these times of obsession with “me”.

It all begins when Alicia, as the heroine created by Lewis Carroll, dives into the bewildering and attractive world of workshops and books about personal growth. A world ruled by the law of attraction, which says that “the secret” to get anything is to desire it ardently, and that the only obstacle in the way is the ego, with its limitations and requirements.

Alicia, tired of her boring life, wants to find happiness within and love without expecting anything in return, as does Violeta. The problem is that both women choose the same man, Jorge. The same one that Diana left years ago to choose a conventional marriage.
