Sibling rivalry is common among children, but in the case of Dolor and Lourdes, this problem goes on to their old age, affecting their marriages and their own children. Dolor is younger but more mature in her relationships. Her source of happiness is her husband, son Dennis, and their simple but happy home. Lourdes, on the other hand, marries for money and spoils her only son to taunt Dolor and the latter's incapacity to buy nice things for her son.
