A snowstorm forces Violeta to interrupt her journey and stay in Huesca while she was on her way to her parents’ village. While dining at a bar near her hostel, she meets a woman with whom she spends what she considers to be the best night of her life. They don’t exchange numbers, not even names; both know what it has been and that they will never see each other again.
But what if that changes?
Olga has inherited her aunt and uncle’s house in the village, and after a divorce that has left her financially drowning, she finally feels the rope loosening when she has the opportunity to move. There, she becomes friends with Maite, her neighbor, who hires her to work in the bakery she manages.
Violeta finally has Christmas vacation and leaves again for the village, where she will spend those days in the company of her mother, the owner of the bakery where Olga now works. When Maite introduces them, they are both so shocked that their first reaction is to pretend they don’t know each other. Olga doesn’t want to lose her job, and Violeta doesn’t want an isolated incident to affect the friendly relationship between her mother and her neighbor.
After all, Violeta will only be there for a few days and then leave; they can handle it. Or can they?
