Synopsis
In a tiny traditional Peruvian seaside village, Miguel (Christian Mercado), a young fisherman, and his beautiful bride, Mariela (Tatiana Astengo), are about to welcome their first child. But Miguel has a secret: he’s in love with Santiago (Manolo Cardona), a painter who is ostracized by the town because he’s gay. As this strikingly original romantic drama unfolds, Miguel must find the courage to be true to himself. His bittersweet, and ultimately uplifting personal journey exemplifies the essence of what it means to be a man.
