Esteban
After breaking up with his boyfriend, a dance music DJ named Danilo tries to escape from his emotions and problems through his live sets, while immersed in the frenzied yet solitary nightlife of Santiago, Chile. In the crowd, a teenage girl named Marie dances to his track selections, admiring him from afar. She is dealing with her own loneliness and lack of parental affection, and sees in him a kind of role model to follow. As they get to know each other, their wildly different lifestyles clash, but in their struggles they find common ground, and a escape from their deep loneliness and anxieties.
The captain of a small vessel, regularly sailing between his home island of Margarita Island in the Caribbean and the Venezuelan mainland, has two separate and very different relationships. At home, he is happily married, having named his boat Isabel after his wife. Yet on his visits to the port of La Guaira, he has a passionate affair with Esperanza, a woman working in a seedy cabaret who tries to retain him with hexes and spells.
