Synopsis
Clara and Andrés have been inseparable since childhood, sharing secrets, dreams, and a bond that has always felt unshakable. Yet beneath the comfort of their friendship lingers a quiet tension neither has ever dared to name.
As adulthood pulls them in different directions, missed opportunities and unspoken feelings begin to weigh heavily on them both. It is only when the possibility of losing each other becomes real that they are forced to confront what has always been there—fragile, persistent, and waiting to be heard.
