action
Beatrice is a holistic therapist, referred to by some as a miracle healer, and she loves her job. After successfully treating the mother of a young woman who is in the middle of chemotherapy, her car doesn't start and she is invited to spend the night at the house and have dinner for a profitable deal from Doug Celebrating Strutt. Even if most of the guests behave politely towards Beatrice, Doug, a self-made millionaire who is very successful in developing new business ideas, behaves insolently towards her. Beatriz thinks she knows Doug from somewhere, which makes her increasingly insecure. When Beatrice asks him directly whether he is doing his business at the expense of sick people, two parties suddenly form while eating, who have very different opinions on this question.
