Mauricio is Mexican, handsome, sensitive, and dreams of becoming a great photographer. Jimmy lives in Miami, is a university professor and is passionate about politics. They fall in love and after thirteen years of a solid life as a couple, only one thing seems to be missing in their relationship: each day Jimmy becomes more and more convinced that they must become parents. In this wonderful love story, the characters not only explore filial love and the strange drive for parenthood but also raise fundamental questions for society: how many types of affection, couples, friendships, families, and emotional ties exist in the contemporary world? How is a family constituted today? What are its challenges?
