Walter cook methanphetamine whitout caring about the damage that can be done to wis wife of his son. In one scene, the boss of Walter he tells: "the man has to support the family, regardless of wether he is criticized". By having this attitude, Walter reproduces the logic of patriarchal family, wich it is man who supports economically. Skyler -the wife of Walter- leave his job and is dedicated to laundring the money that Walt earns.  In the serie you can see how, chapter by chapter, Skyler is becoming aware of the oppression that lives, but is unable to oppose it. The relationship between Skyler and Walter progresses but they never separate, as if they were fatally united, and Skyler had to endure being maintained by Walter forever.

My family have a house in Quintero 30 years ago. Since I was born, I go to this house every vacations.The balcony of the house faces the sea, and in the mornings we have breakfast watching the boats. My dad always dreamed of having a boat to fish, like Hemingway. Five years ago, he was founded a boat buried in the beach of Loncura. He unearthed it and he brought it to the house in a cart. The boat was buried for more than 10 years, so it was no good for fishing. As a conslation, my dad takes pictures of the boats from the balcony. This is one of his photos, and it is my favourite picture.
