A soul capable of everything because of that unbridled madness of pretending more and more. And this is one of those stories about the places where big capital moves and, therefore, where the cruelest consequences of ambition and the power that money confers are manifested.
Annabel thus appears as a kind of heroine or perhaps a victim of the collateral damage of such a hoarding frenzy. Because she enjoyed her privileged position as the wife of a wealthy banker. Matthew played, until the moment of his fateful accident, the role of the perfect husband when perfection can be drawn from comfort and opulent life.
