Norman, a quiet, middle-aged college teacher from Montreal played by Noel Burton (Denys Arcand’s Stardom, The Art of War), embarks on the adventure of his life when he goes to Mexico to propose to Gladys, a young woman he met through an Internet agency. Gladys, played by Vanessa Bauche (Amorres Perros, El Patrullero) accepts Norman, but impulsively requires him to bring her widowed mother, Fernanda (Susana Salazar - Al Norte del Corazón), with them to Canada. In the emotional showdowns that follow, Norman, Gladys and Fernanda must find the courage to overcome great distance, foolish desire, and the obstinate fear of solitude.

Norman, un tímido maestro canadiense, se embarca en la aventura de su vida cuando viaja a México para proponerle matrimonio a Gladys, una mujer joven, a la que conoció por medio de una agencia del internet. Gladys, al aceptar la proposición de Norman, impulsivamente exige que su madre viuda, Fernanda, vaya con ellos a Montreal. Fascinado, Norman complace a Gladys y lleva a su nueva familia al país del norte. Sin embargo, el amor evade a los recién casados. A pesar de la buena voluntad, Gladys se vuelve impaciente y Norman cada día más confundido y distante. Fernanda se encuentra de pronto convertida en el consejero matrimonial de su hija y, luego, de su yerno. Silenciosamente, Norman se enamora de Fernanda. Ella siente esa atracción y, temiendo que sea mutua, regresa precipitadamente a México. Frente a los desafíos emocionales del desenlace, Gladys, Norman y Fernanda deben superar la distancia, la ilusión y el obstinado miedo a la soledad. Haz clic aqui para sitio en español.
