THE INFANTAS (LAS INFANTAS)

Carnival in Barcelona. The dominican troupe is the most popular at the best-attended parade in the city and, for the first time this year, they are parading with a float. Ruth, the owner of a Latin hairdresser's, is sponsoring the float, so that she can put her daughter Rihanna in it. Rihanna usually dresses like a tomboy and Ruth wants everyone to see her like a princess for once. But the tutu and tiara are an inbearable embarrassment for the previously submissive Rihanna.

MOUNTAIN (MONTE)

After a heart attack, Luis (60) experiences the threat of death for the first time, as well as the impact of aging on his body. Scared, he decides to retreat to a mountain house belonging to his ex-husband Galo (60). Luis intends to move away from what he desires the most: his young boyfriend Mario (23), although the boy is unwilling to let him go like that. In the same mountain refuge where he spent his childhood, Luis will be forced to confront his fear of death and old age, while he fights against the desire of keeping Mario by his side.
