A story of second chances, family secrets, and the struggle between reason and attraction.
What is it about?
Prudence, who prefers to be called Lola, hates her name and her new boss, Anthony. She works as a waitress at Delirio, a swinger club in Madrid, and as a clerk in a sex shop, alternating between two worlds that hide her true essence. Behind her surly, grumpy attitude hides the sixth daughter of a conservative and religious marriage that abhors sex. Anthony, with an accent she describes as a cheap soap opera actor, is determined to convince her that they can experience synesthesia and see the indigo color of love whenever they are together. What she considers a cheap pickup trick becomes the center of an inevitable tension. A contract binds them, a secret from the past separates them, and fate seems determined to remind them that he always had the last word.
