Carmen Rico-Godoy

Carmen suddenly becomes a widow at 40 just as her daughter finds herself pregnant. Carmen will try to piece her life back together.

Carmen, a journalist with two children, is on her third marriage, to Antonio, a record producer. Over the course of a year, we follow her through her discontents: Antonio's lateness, his fatigue when she wants to make love, his insistence on her company when she prefers solitude, his treating her work as less important than his, his casual and cruel dismissal of her opinions, her boss assigning her an incompetent editor, bartenders ignoring her, her passage into middle age. She can be feisty and edgy, which sometimes gets in the way of what would make her happy. And she regularly threatens to leave Antonio. Will she, and on what terms? What will he do?

Fifteen years after the plot a lawyer and a military ex-attorney meet and recall the intense days of 1975 when both participated in the decission of war or peace. The film is told in flashbacks of the two protagonists.

Mercedes (Neus Asensi) Mariángeles (Ana Risueño) and Carmen (Miriam Diaz Aroca) need to escape something: the stress of the job, a divorce or a gray and boring existence. And all three are looking for something: a love affair in an exotic country. The destination is Tunisia, land of contrasts, from the deserts and beaches. But far from land into a paradise unprecedented journey undertaken with a group of quirky characters.

A woman's father dies in a Central American country and leaves her a bizarre inheritance: a ship which acts as a floating brothel under the appearance of being a restaurant. Alejandra, our heroine, decides to put an end to the ship's dissolute activities and use her inheritance as a school. Customers, cooks, waiters and the girls will meet her idea with considerable resistance.
