Julia and Moises fell in love and got married when they were young, idealistic, and passionate; now in their 30s, their marriage has cooled and their lives have sunken into the mediocrity they had sought to avoid. This realization inspires a quest to regain the lost dreams of their youth, which is complicated when a handsome student begins to pursue Julia. She begins an affair with the fiery young activist that may just put the excitement back into her marriage. This is a funny and insightful exploration of the intricacies of relationships, love, and idealism, and Jesus Ochoa as Moises turns in a stellar performance.
