Ana and Mariano run into each other after years without contact. As they share a short ride on public transport, they recall the time they spent together. They have both dreamed about this situation coming to pass, and it’s full of half-finished sentences, words suspended in mid-air, unconcluded gestures. Love also means letting go.

Sunburned

Two neighbors, Elena (a woman with an orderly life, the “perfect” boyfriend, and neatly ironed clothes) and Irene (a free spirit who hates pre-established relationships and being tied down), are forced to spend a day together. They come to realize that they’re not so different—and sometimes there’s no better conversational partner than a stranger.
