Holidays at the beach promise an extravagant change of routine, but the obligation to have fun can be oppressive. This is what Dali discovers when she travels to a stunning beach and stays in a hotel that has seen better days. Her son Pepe misses his father, who died recently. Chavez, on the other hand, her new boyfriend, cannot relax with the worry about paying for the trip. Dali, still happy to be with her son, also struggles to deal with the grief. By distancing themselves, the three will have personal adventures that will redefine the idea of family unity. Toronto 2015.
