Social differences
The Tucumán setting is set in the 1930s. The plot revolves around rejection and social differences, showing love as an egalitarian sign through the false elixir.
The story begins by showing Nemorino, a young man without money or work, he is the least interesting candidate for the women of his town. He is madly in love with Adina, a well-off peasant woman who constantly rejects him.
