When the Stars Shine

Natalia Hernández’s first feature begins some 20 years ago, when 10-year-old Lucas falls in love with a girl named Ana. Everything is cut short when Ana moves and Lucas loses track of her. Today, Lucas makes crossword puzzles and has an almost non-existent love/sex life. Meanwhile, his friend Santiago has a blind date with Verónica that ends a few seconds after it began, and Verónica’s neighbor is stuck in a secret and quite toxic relationship.
