A José Luis (Quim Gutiérrez) acaban de dejarlo plantado en el altar, y por si esto fuera poco, Mari Carmen (Carmen Machi), su madre, se ha empeñado en acompañarlo a la luna de miel con la excusa de no perder el dinero. Cada minuto que pasan en Mauricio, José Luis se siente más infeliz y fracasado, mientras que Mari Carmen se lo pasa como nunca, viviendo todas las experiencias que siempre había deseado y revelándose como la maravillosa mujer que es en realidad, y que su familia no ve.

In the wake of her arranged marriage, a young woman in Mauritius begins a job at a call centre. Her first steps toward independence have repercussions no one could have expected.
Marco
It is the end of an era. Marco, Bissoon and their friends have spent their lives working for a sugar factory that is due to close. Sugarcane is no longer profitable so it will soon be replaced by luxurious villas, golf courses and playgrounds for rich tourists, making this area forbidden for the working class. As their world seems to fall apart around them, some struggle to find their places in their strange new surroundings, while others decide to leave the country. For Bissoon, the closing of the factory brings frustration, emptiness and neo-colonial malaise. Meanwhile Marco gets intrigued by Devi, the wife of the authoritarian man overseeing the demolition of the factory. Continuing his work of putting Mauritius on the cinematic map, David Constantin tells a story of a move from tradition to modernity. In doing so, he offers a view behind the postcard façade of paradise, portraying the world less picture perfect than you might think.
