Abstract

The view of yachts and supplies of fresh fish draw visitors like a magnet to the Uruguayan port of Punta del Este. Among the bustle, people go about their business virtually unnoticed. However, in their midst are two women who one cannot ignore. At first glance, Laura Sosa and Maria Biaño seem quite different from each other. The former is extrovert, passionate and talks quite openly. The latter is reserved, cautious, and initially seems sullen and distrustful.
