Synopsis:

Struggling martial artist and dancer Bruno (Llorenc Gonzalez) loves his girlfriend Carla (Astrid Berges-Frisbey), but when he meets fellow dancer Rai (Alvaro Cervantes), serious sparks begin to fly, opening the couple up to new possibilities. A new generation navigates sexual fluidity, torn affections, and open relationships in this steamy love triangle. Xavier Villaverde's latest film is all about bodies: in motion, entwined, heaving with laughter or sadness. His attractive young cast enacts an ever more socially acceptable post-millennial scenario-that of the ménage a trois. But as in real life, taking romantic risks in any type of partnership inevitably leads to growing pains. Once Bruno's clandestine encounters with Rai are revealed, a confused and hurt Carla kicks him out. But she simply doesn't want to give up on her love. Eventually she agrees that Bruno can date them both-as long as he keeps his life with Rai relatively separate.

A fiercely precise hip-hop dance troupe captures the eye of passerby Bruno on a busy Barcelona street - and when he's violently mugged moments later, the mysterious and magnetic Rai (Álvaro Cervantes) comes to his rescue. Bruno's girlfriend Carla (Astrid Bergès-Frisbey, who played the beautiful mermaid in the most recent Pirates of the Caribbean blockbuster) can't get ahold of Bruno on his damaged cel phone. By the time Bruno finds his way back to Carla some hours later, he's already formed a solid connection with Rai. A free spirit who lacks much connection to convention, the hyper-masculine, karate-instructor Rai soon makes a pass at the stunned Bruno. Completely bewildered by his own responsiveness, Bruno must ultimately determine how to be true to Carla, Rai and himself. Angels are highly evolved spiritual beings. As deeply human and flawed as Rai, Bruno and Carla may be, their struggle is to treat each other and their unusual and difficult situation with a profound sense of respect and compassion.
