Eligio (Gael García Bernal), a fun-loving, charismatic actor wakes up one morning to realize that his wife Susana (Verónica Echegui) has left him without a word or warning. Bewildered, he looks for her everywhere trying to understand why. His certainty that things were great between them erodes as he speaks with everyone who may know where she is. After a few months Eligio discovers that she is at a writers workshop in Iowa. Eligio sells off his car and gets on a plane from his native Mexico City to go after her. Their reconciliation is fun, joyful and romantic, but also precarious. Eligio will have to face the contradictions between his macho idiosyncrasies and the love he feels for Susana. It is a journey of growthfunny, painful, and ultimately romantic.
