21 October, 15:30 · Od Nowa – large hall
Pedro (30) and Luciana (29) drunkenly kiss at a party after exchanging a few clumsy words. Not even sure of each other's names, they leave together. However, casual sex gets put off by general lack of cabs at dawn in San José, then their excited banter gets them kicked off the one cab they could find. They walk home, and by the time they get there, they're tired and dehydrated. They just end up falling asleep. The next morning Pedro announces he's leaving town for a few weeks to work on his thesis at Rincón de la Viaje, a volcano a few hours away from the city. Luciana is disappointed to hear this, as she is leaving on a trip abroad soon, so they probably won't see each other again. On a whim, she decides to go along...
Two strangers in the middle of nowhere, with one more day ahead of them to spend together. Sometimes, one weekend can feel like more than a couple of days.
