When Sophie, a reticent American teen adrift in rural Spain for the summer, bumps into Gloria, a bold and unapologetic Catalan teen with a broken arm, it is immediately clear that these girls have beef. Gloria offers Sophie an unusual bargain in the middle of a local market: “cook me dinner and I will forgive you.”
As the two awkwardly reconnect over Sophie’s cooking, it is revealed that Sophie broke Gloria’s arm playing soccer, and while the fallout was intense, so is their palpable chemistry. They continue hanging out and a magnetic pull intensifies. Sophie’s reserved demeanor is the perfect foil for Gloria’s impulsive spirit, and the two are soon engaged in a prideful will-they-won’t-they — until Gloria points out that maybe it’s not pride; it’s shame. A vulnerable conversation leads to a kiss in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.
Just as their romance heats up, Sophie’s long-term boyfriend Henry arrives unexpectedly, adding a punch line to their romance and begging the question of which relationship – if any – is more real.
