Two couples flee the city for a weekend. Toshiro and Helena, married with two daughters; and Felipe and Iris, enjoying life freely in their early 30s. They all stay at a country estate run by Sol and Miguel, lovers and hippies at heart. The weekend begins with laughter and camaraderie. But as untold desires and hidden agendas are revealed, both urban pairs get into crisis. Decisions must be made and voices must be heard in this story of the incredible complexity of love in its many forms.[5]
