The Larrain’s are a particular Chilean family. They are characterized for being a bit lazy, watching television all day, being messy and with no hope of social mobility.
Tito met his wife Quena (a Coihueco native) when they were in high school. Quena ended up pregnant and had no other choice but to marry Tito. Tito is a hooligan of the soccer team Unión Española, just like Fernando Larraín, the actor who portrays him.
Tito’s family used to have a lot of money, but they lost everything on the economic crisis of 1982. His family left the country and Tito stayed in Chile by himself. He never got into college because he had no money. It was then that he looked for a job and the only thing he could find was a position as a seller in a women’s shoe shop, in a mall in Downtown Santiago called “El Conde del Calzado”. Now, after 19 years of marriage, he’s still working in the same pathetic job.
