Episode 1
"Duty Free" opens its doors this year to offer a hearty meal of satirical social comedy, where the daily reality of the ordinary citizen turns into a theater of paradoxical events. The story revolves around our diary that is full of details, boldly and lightly highlighting those problems that trouble everyone but we are afraid to talk about them except in a whisper, or laugh at them as a kind of "evil that makes you laugh."
