Plot
Desire and spontaneity are hallmarks of the young, who often play emotional games without regard for consequences. But three enchanting college coeds soon discover that life can be a most difficult teacher. They learn that nothing is free and they will pay an immense price for their impetuous seductions and heedless romantic interludes. Luisa Fernanda’s background of privilege is no antidote for the love that is missing in her life. She thinks of Rodolfo as the prize in a childish romantic contest until her passions become real, placing her innocence and safety in danger. A spoiled and protected childhood ill-prepares her friend Alejandra for a passionate liaison with a married man. The turmoil stemming from the illicit alliance compels her to jeopardize both her future and that of her son and Miriam, their country friend who is embarrassed about her humble beginnings, misrepresents herself through lies and fantasy. By reaching for stars that don’t exist, she risks living a life without love. The women’s brave pilgrimage empowers them to learn as they go, ultimately amassing the wisdom and inner strength necessary for finding the purity and power of real love.[2]
