Seeking to explore Ecuador’s “picturesque” landscapes and experience the “third world” adventures promised by her travel guide, Esperanza arrives in the Andean country from her native Spain and runs into Tristeza, a cynical, mistrustful Ecuadorian university student. They soon embark together on a journey to the old colonial town of Cuenca. Along the way, their exchanges with strangers and the companionship they find in each other result in surprising revelations. Thanks to breathtaking cinematography by Armando Salazar, the coastline, countryside and mountains of Ecuador become powerful characters as the women open up to new experiences and the beauty ahead.
