Crisis de gran mal
A man is floored by an epileptic fit in the reception of a hotel in Madrid. His name is Guillermo Alonso, a talented engineer who has scaled the heights of multinational company Goodwin Chemicals in Spain. His international career is about to take off, but in order to achieve the well-deserved New York promotion, he's had to pass the ultimate test of loyalty to the firm: decommission the chemical plant that the multinational bought in Puertollano, and for which he himself put together a detailed feasibility plan. Convinved that sometimes one must give way in order to change things from the top down, Alonso begins his ascent to Manhattan's lofty offices. But he won't be alone up there: the disease he thought was forgotten is going with him.
