A thirteen year-old girl from a scenic village in Argentina strikes up a tender friendship with a cynical architect hired to design a house for his Buenos Aires client in director Alberto Lecci's heartfelt drama. Carlos (Gaston Pauls) arrives in the picturesque pueblo of Purmamarca to design a house for one of his wealthy clients. Recently separated from his wife, the lifelong urbanite has little patience for the placid, small-town logic displayed by the local populace. Carlos soon finds his scorn for the country-dwellers disarmed, however, by the unguarded honesty of his adolescent, self-appointed guide Estela (Marina Vilte). Though the pair enters into a platonic relationship that helps each to form a better understanding of the world that exists outside of their respective comfort zones, Carlos and Estela soon find the delicate balance of their friendship disrupted when Carlos' estranged wife Ana (Ariadna Gil) makes an unexpected appearance in the town. (Jason Buchanan: All Movie Guide)
