Demetrio works as a pastry chef at the French restaurant Le Bourrelet. This would be his seventh year as a pâtissier, but the stern but fatherly chef-owner feels the young man should continue to advance his career. When Demetrio is offered a position as head pastry chef at the Four Seasons restaurant, he wants to take it, but as an undocumented immigrant, he's missing something crucial: papers. Worried about being discovered, he makes the difficult decision to return permanently to his native country, to which he has not returned since his childhood. That will mean leaving behind the only family he knows: his beloved uncle Chus, who raised him and with whom he still lives. On the flight to Madrid, he sits next to handsome, wisecracking, and sensitive Jacobo, a New York University student who comes home to his ultra-conservative, aristocratic family, and chemistry instantly strikes between them. In dimly lit bars in Madrid and on beaches far from the capital, Demetrio and Jacobo's subtle but intense relationship unfolds little by little. Demetrio is tortured by fear of intimacy and anxiety about his class difference. Both find it difficult to accept their identities and sexualities, and avoid their true feelings until a family tragedy causes their lives to collide again.
