This is one of the worst stories I've seen on Netflix. The characters were all weak, selfish and self-absorbed, including the parents, Mateo and Isabella. Every person in the family lied to and betrayed each other, or looked the other way even when they knew the truth. Throughout the timeline spanning over decades, not one of them learned anything about being a better human being, or having courage and understanding. At the end Adela explains that even though they're flawed they all love each other--how can they when their lives were based on lies and closing their eyes? What a waste of time.
