Synopsis

The Box, Prepaid and The Happy Girl are tree stories that all begin at the La Polonesa coffee shop in Medellin on Mother’s Day Sunday. The characters in each of the stories seem to be guided by inescapable destiny. In The Box, Camila is forced to bring her son’s disinterred ashes home when the cemetery is set to be demolished. The event stirs up old memories and grudges that she and her husband thought had been buried along with the boy. In Prepaid, Erika gets ready to start a new life with her young daughter in Spain. Before she goes, she decides to meet one last time with a Japanese client. It turns out he has an unexpected surprise for her. In The Happy Girl, Marlon and The Happy Girl make a living on the streets as live statues. Removing their costumes and make-up in a room in a flophouse, they discover each other’s faces and the reality of their lives, bringing their relationship to an end.
