Dali, travels to the beach to spend the Easter holidays with her son Pepino and her

ghosts from the past surface.
Pepino finally conquers the group of children and ends officiating a sort of ceremony
where his extreme religiosity takes off. Chavez has a psychotropic experience that makes
him come clean first with himself and then with his partner. Dali takes a jetski ride so
coveted by her son and enjoys a moment of emotional closeness with an american in his
