“Dioses” (“Gods”)

An upstairs/downstairs tale set in modern day Lima, Peru.

A very wealthy titan of industry lives in a beautiful home on the Pacific Ocean. His two spoiled children rebel against their father’s recent divorce by drinking, philandering, and partying day and night. The 21-year old daughter gets pregnant and doesn’t know who the father is. The son, incestuously in love with his sister, can't handle her sudden disappearance (to Miami to have her baby) and rebels against his father by moving to the slums to live with one of their maids.

This story glosses over the economic disparity between the classes and misses a great opportunity to tell a meaningful story with depth and lasting significance.
