Hortensia is deeply in shock: her father is electrocuted when he opens the refrigerator door, she is fired from work, and she discovers that her boyfriend is cheating on her with her best friend. Alone and anxious, she finds a letter she wrote when she was 14. It reads: "Goals for happiness: to marry a boy who is blond like my father and to design the most beautiful shoes in the world."

"A comedy marked by lovingly eccentric characters and settings, resembling in tone and style the films of Wes Anderson" (Filmfest Hamburg)
