Axun, aged 70, goes to the hospital to take care of her daughter's ex-husband. She can't believe her eyes when she discovers that the woman looking after the man in the next bed is Maite, her best friend as a teenager. It's not long before they realise that the chemistry of their friendship remains unchanged; they get on just as well as they had done 50 years earlier. The two women have fun, enjoying their new meeting, until Axun discovers that Maite is a lesbian. Axun struggles with her feelings. Which should she follow? Her heart or her head?
