The official synopsis reads:
Set in the bucolic hills of the Jalisco Highlands, the film tells the story of fifty-year-old businesswoman María García, who is the owner of Dos Estaciones, once a premier tequila factory that is now struggling to stay afloat. The family factory is the last holdout from generations of Mexican-owned tequila plants, the rest having been folded into foreign corporations. Formerly one of the wealthiest people in town, María knows her current financial situation is untenable.María hires Rafaela as a new manager for the factory and comes to rely on her to keep her business afloat. The lines between the personal and the professional start to blur, hinting at a romantic interest between the two fiercely independent women in an industry run by men. Yet, when a persistent crop plague and an unexpected flood cause irreversible damage, María is forced to do everything she can to save her community's pride and primary economic source.
