A wealthy group of close friends, The Circle Foundation, choose to endorse a risky charitable cause, Animal Rights and the world around them ignites into a three-ring circus. As the story begins, Jesus Montenegro and his protege Lorena the organizer of the group is suffering from mid-life ennui, but the somewhat negative reaction to his charity de jour reinvigorates his passion and draws support from unlikely sources. When Marisol Garcia, a young girl, with a bold affinity for the cause finds her way into their inner circle, Jesus’ protégé Leonardo falls in love with her thus disrupting the delicate balance of power within the group. The complications between these human beings and dilemma of Animal Rights create the fodder for drama, comedy and everything in between.
The scene is set today – Latin America, one of the largest consumers of animal products in the world. The tone is elegant, fast and picturesque; the style comic/realism.
