Esmeralda, from Ecuador, lives together with Maria Luisa, who is 99 years old. Esmeralda came to Bilbao 6 years ago because her husband was working there. A year after she arrived she divorced from her husband and became sick as result of a depression. She has worked as a carer during all this years in Bilbao and had some bad experiences with people she has taken care of. At the moment she feels happy with Maria Luisa, who respects her, but misses her country and is thinking of going back after she finishes working with Maria Luisa. Her two sons are in Bilbao as well and both have difficulties in order to integrate.
