Two female lovers reunite for the first time in ages. One wants to shoot a porn film, the other wants to visit her family. They decide to traverse southern Argentina with a woman they met after a night out with a surprising ending. The polyamorous road trip takes them to breathtaking places where they are joined by other women, all at a crossroads in their lives.
The trip is replete with loving, uncomplicated sex and reflections on life, relationships, being a woman and a human being. Without fear, shame or regret, they explore their boundaries, freeing themselves from conventional standards and ties. Filmmaker Albertina Carri reveals that it’s possible to love without jealousy and suffering. She shoots unbridled pleasure explicitly, thereby celebrating the beauty of the female form and that of the Argentinian landscape in all its manifestations.
