How would you react if your partner confessed to hooking up with your idol? Teresa Bellón and César F. Calvillo ingeniously navigate this unexpected scenario in their captivating debut, a charming romantic comedy inspired by the timeless essence of When Harry Met Sally by Rob Reiner.

César and Teresa are a happy couple until she has an affair with (real-life) pop singer Coque Malla, César’s idol ever since he was a teenager. César decides he needs to speak to Coque, so the couple travels to Miami in search of the legend, while they reconsider their 17 years together and who they have become.

Featuring the talented duo Alexandra Jiménez and Hugo Silva, this delightful exploration of love promises laughter and serendipitous twists of fate.
