PRESS RELEASE
On vacation at a beautiful resort in Mexico’s Mayan Riviera, a family tries to reconnect with each other, but mounting distractions threaten to keep them from coming together. Businessman father Jesús Ochoa,unable to tell his family troubling news about his health, goes off with an attractive local woman on a side trip to a Yucatan village instead. While he’s away, his Chilean wife Valentina Vargas, having caught the eye of the resort’s local gigolo, wrestles with how much to resist his attentions. Eldest daughter Ana Serradilla,r ecently separated from her husband, develops a crush on a new friend—which at least keeps her from bickering with sister Martha Higareda, who hides her true feelings behind sarcasm and a smoke screen of marijuana. Youngest son Jesús Zavala is the only one taking a direct approach: he’s on the Internet trying to hook up.
