PREMITIVO: Late 70s, a wise yet hapless vagrant-borracho who has a dicho for every situation, and always seems to have just a little left in his trusty brown bottle.
ESPOSA: Early 20s, she’s hard-working, serious, and values her somewhat limited independence. She is a romantic at heart, but keeps this soft side a secret.
JOSEFA: Early 50s, Esposa’s mother, a widow. Just as serious as her daughter, Josefa is also authoritative, traditional, and dead-set on finding Esposa a husband.
MARÍA ROSABEL: Early 20s, warm, intelligent, values integrity, knows what she wants, and loves to dance and paint.
PLUTARCO: Early 20s, an aspiring poet who makes ends meet doing odd jobs around town. He spends more time drinking beer with his cousin, Josué Miguel, than he does writing poems.
JOSUÉ MIGUEL: Early 20s, a dedicated guitarist who composes his own music while drinking beer with his cousin, Plutarco.
ALCARITA: Late 70s, the village’s hardest-working gossip, la chismosa. A bit sour on the outside, inside she can be soft, sweet, and a little spicy.
ORALIA: 50s, Josué Miguel’s mom, Alcarita’s chisme confidante.
FACUNDO: Late 20s, a cattle farming bachelor whose confidence matches his appetite(s).
SALOMON: Claims to be mid 20s, a crop farming bachelor aged beyond his years by countless days working in the sun.
CELESTINO: Esposa’s childhood friend and neighbor. An artist and dancer.
RAMÓN: Guadalupe’s husband, early 30s, aloof, has sharp yet wandering eyes.
