SYNOPSIS Azul and Paula just lost their mother. The older sister decides to cremate the body, but Azul is not satisfied and looks for money to pay for a burial. In her search, discovers a revealing photograph: Paula is actually not her sister, but her mother. Azul is shocked and wants to know about her father. Paula explains that it was a teenage romance when she escaped to Cabo Polonio. Azul's desire to meet him and Paula's guilt for lying will make them embark on a trip to Uruguay.
