Synopsis
Australian premiere
Amanece en Samaná
María Luisa Mayol (Fatum), Bárbara Santa-Cruz (If I Were Rich), Luis Zahera (The Realm) and Luis Tosar (also in Undercover) star in this sun-soaked, entertaining relationship comedy full of twists and turns from Rafa Cortés, based on the play Cancún by Jordi Galcerán.
Samaná, Dominican Republic. Two couples, Ale and Santi, and Natalia and Mario, are celebrating their twenty-year friendship at a resort.
Carried away by the happiness of being with her friends and fuelled by rum, Ale decides to share a confession from the past about the night the four of them met, leading to a ‘Sliding Doors’ moment. The following morning, Ale wakes somewhat confused and with a heavy hangover, but events soon begin to take a completely unexpected and hilarious, yet ultimately cathartic, turn.
As the strength of their relationships and friendships is put to the test, revealing hidden attractions and frustrations, they are confronted with comparisons of who they are and what their lives could have been.
