Short description

Dissatisfied with the dishonesty they see in dating, strangers Naima and Sergio make a pact to spend 24 straight hours together in an attempt to fast forward their relationship.

What's left behind the scenes

Initially, the plan was to make a film about a man and a woman, but Miguel Arteta and Alia Shawkat couldn't find anyone to play the lead role. When Laya Costa came to the audition, the script was rewritten to be about two women.
Filming took 10 days. The second part of the film was shot in real time over 24 hours.
All the dialogue in the film was improvised.
