Synopsis

Ignacio is currently an unemployed filmmaker. He receives a rather unconventional job proposition from his eccentric mother—to work as a salesman at the family boutique situated in the upscale seaside resort of Reñaca. Within this role, Ignacio’s responsibilities span a wide range: assisting customers, producing a promotional video, and capturing fashion photographs. Despite his best efforts, none of these tasks unfold as planned. Amidst the world of dresses, models, photo shoots, and the potential for a romantic entanglement, Ignacio discovers an unexpected opportunity to bring his cinematic aspirations to life.
