Thirty years after spending a summer in an international school, artistically frustrated film director Matías (writer and co-director Juan Pablo Di Pace) receives an unexpected wedding invitation that reconnects him with old friends. Reunited with Swedish dreamboat Alexander for the first time since their elusive and undeclared first love, Matías is forced to face the demons of his past and close a chapter that still haunts him. Past and present are intrinsically linked in this delightfully romantic drama, as the decisions made under the spell of youth carry sobering repercussions decades later.
