Valeria has changed her native Buenos Aires for Betanzos, a town in Galicia where her family comes from. Eccentric, dreamer, dreamer and funny, in her 25 she finds herself in the most surreal love crossroads of her life: after the sudden death of her mature and attractive lover, she falls in love with Marcelo, the son of the deceased.
Her friend Adela, the owner of the hairdresser’s where both of them work at, will help her to clear up her mind. Meanwhile they enjoy with their friends the little joys of life, laugh the sorrows and daydream about having a different life (maybe inspired by the posters from Paris that decorate the hairdresser’s…).
A beautiful story about the universal desire of finding the own identity, decode the collective one and live through love in a land that is every bit as good as Paris boulevards.
