Synopsis:
As the story begins, we watch as some cute young women in their twenties swap small talk at some upscale looking club. Marta is one of these women who are laughing the night away. But, back at the apartment owned by Angela, where Marta is staying temporarily, she is a different person. With an intense sadness and some hidden troubles, Marta is accused of moping around too much. Marta's life is a mixture of happiness and sadness. Or is it? Could it just be that she is despondent and being a good actress is able to hide her troubles behind a fetching smile? Marta, it seems, is a woman with her life on hold. She moved from Chile to get work as an actress in New York, but she spends all of her free time talking about her boyfriend, Alvaro from Chile. Brad (Producer) sees that special spark in Marta's eyes that others miss, so he tries, with little luck, to get her to go out with him. This exquisitely constructed film ends as perfectly as it began. It's a real jewel.
