 It
is the day after the funeral of her husband, Richard, that Renata
arrives in Santa Barbara with the firm intention of facing the one she
considers her rival in the heart of her husband.
Consumed
by sadness, consumed by anger, consumed by pain, Renata is a jealous
woman, wounded, bruised. She
has to find someone to blame for Richard's death. She has to find
someone to hate to get out of her sadness. Perhaps
she has already known and endured other affairs of her husband. She
arrives in Santa Barbara and faces Kelly Capwell, whom she suspects not
only of having been in Washington with Richard, but also of being his
mistress.
Renata
is a tenacious woman. She
urges Kelly to tell her the truth, because she does not believe in the
official version. And
although she manages to reveal the truth about the circumstances of her
husband's death, Renata does not find enough evidence to charge Kelly.
Perhaps even more consumed by sadness, by anger and pain, Renata leaves
Santa Barbara after a very brief passage, more disappointed than ever.
Her desire for revenge remains unfinished...
