SYNOPSIS
On a hot summer day in the south of Chile, small events shape the lives of visitors and employees of an old thermal resort. The stories of Julieta, Francisco, Isa, Rodrigo, Ignacio, Mariana, Muriel, Gabriela, Eliseo, Norma, Alejandra and Claudio connect in moments of everyday life. While the visitors experience a contemplative break, the locals are merged in their routine. After enjoying long vacation hours in nature, learning how to drive, cleaning the house, kissing for the first time, swimming at night or just walking and talking, the day slowly unravels into fragments of happiness and discovery.
