Sebas, a lifeguard at a resort swimming pool, Sergio, a fisherman, and Lorenzo openly live out their sexuality. They never thought about labels or sexual classifications, but just want to enjoy the sun, the sea, beer and their bodies.

When Sergio goes missing, Lorenzo believes that his own mother might have something to do with it. She is a forewoman at the fish market where Sergio sells his wares and has found out that Lorenzo is having sex with Sergio. 

But can this be true? Lorenzo’s mother is also looking for Sergio. Everything changes when Lorenzo and Sebas finally find their friend Sergio.
