    Dali hopes that the trip to one of Mexico's paradise-like beaches will provide a respite from their worries and woes -- but the resort has seen better days, and as they all cram into a small room, thoughts of the outside world begin once more to weigh on them. Dali's son Pepe (Esteban Avila) feels nostalgic for his deceased father. Her handsome beau, Chavez (Tenoch Huerta), can barely enjoy himself, growing more and more tense as the funds he was counting on to pay for this getaway are repeatedly delayed. And Dali, though happy to finally be with her son -- who has been living with his grandmother in the wake of his father's death -- finds that her own grief makes it difficult for her to engage. As the relationship among the three becomes progressively strained, they each set off on separate adventures that underline the disjointed nature of this new family unit.
