Synopsis

Cata might look a lot like her younger sister Eva , but their similarities are superficial compared to those that exist between Cata and their grandmother Catalina .

Cata and Eva are spending the summer vacation with Catalina and grandfather Tomeu in their home in Mallorca, in the Catalan Mediterranean, with unparalleled views of the endless blue sea and unrepeatable sunsets. The sisters have a lot of time on their hands and not a care in the world — until tragedy strikes and their universe is hit by the loss of grandma Catalina.
