Set adrift by his late father's suicide, Santiago Pautrat (Jason Day) decides to leave his hometown and travel to the coast to spend the winter in the northern resort town of Máncora, Peru. Consumed with grief, Pautrat doesn't have the will to protest when his beautiful stepsister, Ximena Saavedra (Elsa Pataky), and her abrasive new husband, Inigo (Enrique Murciano), decide to join him. Together, the three embark on an escapist journey into a world of sex, drugs and family secrets.

2.5/5
