Zusammenfassung
Begoña, a thirty-something consultant with a rebellious streak, has spent years defying her upper-middle-class upbringing through reckless sexual encounters, documented via a palm-sized video device called "The Owl," per her psychoanalyst's recommendation. On Christmas Eve, she reluctantly attends dinner with her dysfunctional family—her stern mother, married brother, and sympathetic younger sister. Tensions flare, and Begoña storms out, only to be drawn into a bar where she meets Daniel, a handsome, solitary teenager who's intrigued by her confidence. However, their connection is short-lived as Elio, Begoña's on-again-off-again adventurous biker ex, arrives and sparks an argument with Daniel.
