Desirée is a young podiatry student who starts working as a sales assistant in a shoe store. She and the owner, Manuel, seem to have little in common, but they will soon discover that they are a perfect match for each other.

After her mother dies in December, advertising director Elsa immerses herself in work to cope. When a panic attack forces her to take a break, she decides to travel to Lanzarote with her friend Patricia. The story of these women run parallel to that of a screenwriter and film director, exploring how life and fiction are inseparably linked, sometimes painfully so.
