Synopsis
Antonia and Nicolás, two inseparable friends, feel stuck in their own lives while watching their peers achieve emotional and professional stability. After attending numerous weddings of their friends and searching for the economic boost they need to make their dreams come true, they come up with a clever (and slightly outrageous) plan: to get married. However, their union is merely a strategic move to announce their secret love affair, throw an extravagant wedding, and collect the money from the gift registry. Antonia plans to leave Nicolás jilted at the altar. Confident that, after the scandal, no one will dare ask for their gift back, their plan is to divide the spoils and use the money to finance their respective dreams.
