Set in Panama City, this tender, atmospheric drama explores the evolving relationship between two lonely souls who form an unexpected bond. Ana María, a Colombian immigrant working as a home caregiver while harboring a secret, crosses paths with Mercedes, a high-society woman struggling with encroaching dementia that is slowly erasing her identity and past. As they navigate the challenges of caregiving and the need for human connection, they learn to care for one another amid their personal struggles. Like the unpredictable Panamanian weather, this luminous drama shimmers with tropical textures and moments of quiet revelation.
