Episode 6: Fake Wedding In Montevideo

In Uruguay, like in many other places around the world, people are waiting longer and longer before getting married.

Well, they arrange fake weddings — otherwise known as falsas bodas. In this episode, Martina takes us to a falsa boda in Montevideo, where things get a bit dangerous.
