Alejandra, a young woman who lives with her family on a modest campsite in a seaside town, spends her day-to-day life between routine and passing seasonal love affairs. During the vacations, the campsite comes alive with tourists who bring along their energy, stories and the chance for fleeting romances that Alejandra indulges in without strings attached. Her world takes an unexpected turn one night out when she meets Amara, a city girl who radiates confidence and mystery. As their relationship progresses, Alejandra begins to confront her fear of abandonment and to rethink the limits she has set for herself. This summer, Alejandra faces a personal transformation that will lead her to redefine her vision of love and herself.
