Logline

A tumultuous search for meaning and sex among twentysomethings, set against the idyllic backdrop of the Atlantic beaches of Asturias, which are discovered here for the big screen.

Marta's life in Madrid is balanced between her academic career and her relationship with Leo. But when she goes home to the province of Asturias on the Atlantic coast, she runs into an old flame and rediscovers a life that seems easier, more sensual, and more exciting than the one in Madrid.
