Edit Piath born in Portugal 56 years ago; now she's married with Luis Ortencio, 66 years old. Both born in Lisbon in privileged families almost among aristrocacy. Both studied Politic sciences, and both always aspired to get to the top of state institutions, thus they knew from childhood that they had to have wide back.

At the age of 14 both entered into social political party (portuguese center-left). As time gone by, both acquired experience. Learnt how to dress, make small talk, knew the right people, met the best businessmen, and learnt all state institutions from bottom to top.

Now , Luis Ortencio, is applying for Prime Minister. He is at home, 11pm, thinking about the past: the people he knew, the money he received as bribery, the dificulty in opening numbered accounts foreing to hide dirty money, and all the good times he had in parties, women, sex, and even drugs; but a thought grew in his head, "It's time to take over all that's mine after all my work; this country will be mine".

At 1pm he fell asleep.
