In the movie "Tortilla Soup", we learned that all the character have a different type of lifestyle. However, the one that took my attention was Carmen for different reasons. Carmer not only was the career woman, but also she caress about her father more than her other sisters. She was not affraid in making decisions and make big moves in her life.

Carmen besides of being the oldest sister, she was a career woman. She wants to achieve all her goals and every member of her family respect her decisions. She dresses always casual and eventhought that her priorities are her job, she also caress for her family and friends. For example: she helped up to change the look of her sister leticia so she can get a boyfriend. Also, she went to see his father's friend inmediatly as soon as they called her to tell her that he was sick in the hospital. They had a conversation between him and Carmen that later made her change her mind about her job. When his father's frienf die, she was so sad and worried for her fathers lonlyness. She insisted him that he needed a woman that can spent the rest of his life. Since his best friend was no more alive, Carmen realized that her father would fall in depresion and also die.

She had a boyfriend but he cheated on her. She finished with this relationship and yet her priority was her job and her family that this notice did not put her down because she was a strong woman. When she was promoted in her job, she was supposed to move to Spain. But, the conversation that she had with his father's friend made her realized that her family was more important in her life. Especially because her father was more lonely than ever and her sisters have moved on with their live and did not live anymore with him. She decided to give up to this job opportunity and do what she really made her happy. Suddenly, she found out that she can cook as her father did and she stayed in charge of the kitchen where her father used to work.

In summary, Carmen was not only a career woman with a lot of opportunities in her life,but she was the daughter that eventhought she was ambitious she cares for the happiness of her family. She gave up to the opportunity to have the job of her dreams just to stay with family and made her father happy.
