The story revolves around José, a kind-hearted and strong young man, who moves to Madrid with his beautiful sister, Pepita, and their elderly grandmother. The narrative focuses on their struggles for a better life and explores themes of beauty, aspiration, and the complexities of relationships against the backdrop of urban life. The opening of the story introduces José as he works hard to create a stable home for his family outside Madrid, after escaping an unkind relative. The harsh memories of their impoverished upbringing shape his motivations, particularly concerning his sister’s future. While José is pragmatic and hardworking, he is also anxious about the possibilities for Pepita amidst the allure of city life. Pepita, full of youthful joy and beauty, experiences the thrill of their new environment as she daydreams about a brighter future. However, her dismissive attitude towards traditional roles, especially regarding marriage, hints at deeper complexities in her character.
