Carmen and Alfredo have been dating since high school and live in Ciudad Satélite, where they are safe from having to fit into a society obsessed with the perfect body, despite the fact that they are both obviously overweight.

Reception

Critical reception

Lucero Solórzano from Excelsior highlights the simplicity of the script and that it is not necessarily something negative, since it does not seek to judge or indoctrinate obese people, but rather merely tells a love story between 2 beings seeking to escape the sensation of "not fitting in", being fresh in the first act and despite the fact that the second act slows down, one can forgive him for the charisma of the leading duo.[9]

Law of demand

Fundamental principle in microeconomics The demand curve, shown in blue, is sloping downwards from left to right because price and quantity demanded are inversely related. This relationship is contingent on certain conditions remaining constant. The supply curve, shown in orange, intersects with the demand curve at price (Pe) = 80 and quantity (Qe)= 120. Pe = 80 is the equilibrium price at which quantity demanded is equal to the quantity supplied. Similarly, Qe = 120 is the equilibrium quanti...
