Lack of Women

Lack of women The plateau of Alentejo has a rich fertile soil but few women most of them studied and became unemployed lawyers in Lisbon, something had to be done. And a busload of women came in the hope of finding a wealthy farmer. They were in their forties but tried to look 35 with heavy makeup it was pathetic, pale, sweaty faces the sun is intense under the immense blue sky exposing a life lived inside nightclubs. The women had the task to do the mucking out. put new straw for the sheep and milk them. For many t was too much, they took the bus back to their civilization as they knew it. I didn't see the end of the show the many ads took a long time I got bored and flipped to another station. But some women stuck it out they thrived, and who knows? They might find their affluent farmer.
