For years, Leo has been writing bestselling romantic novels (under
the pseudonym Amanda Gris), but with her personal life in shambles, she
finds it impossible to produce such sunny material. Unable to accept
that her troubled marriage to Paco is over, Leo finds herself creatively
and emotionally blocked. She finds little consolation from her mother
and sister Rosa, who are so busy bickering with each other that they
don't notice Leo's distress, and her best friend Betty, a psychologist
who is secretly having an affair with Paco. One bright point is a new
friendship with Angel, cultural editor of the daily paper El Pais, who
unknowingly hires her to write an attack on her nom de plume, Amanda
Gris.
