Synopsis

Spoiler shield

When Ana married Felix, the leader of a rock band and son of a travel agent, she thought her life would be plenty of excitement and travels. Now, in her forties, she leads a monotonous life with her husband and her daughter, giving cooking lessons and taking French courses. But one day she receives an invitation to give a cooking course in Paris.
