The official synopsis reads:
Nora (Maria Morera) is not sure how she is going to survive another summer in her family's coastal mansion in Spain; her grandmother is ill and her little sister is such a baby, and she’s dreading the weeks to come. However, things take an exciting turn when she meets Libertad (Nicolle Garcia), the daughter of the family’s maid, Rosana (Carol Hurtado). Far from her home in Colombia, Libertad also hates the idea of spending time with her mom helping to clean up after Nora’s wealthy family. The social divide between the teens doesn’t stop them from becoming fast friends, though, as they begin spending their nights together in secret, hiding their friendship from their parents at the risk of being separated.
