Synopsis
Amid the high-class from México, the plot focus on two cousins. Tania and Daniela have such a strong relationship that they are more best friends than family. They're invited to a wedding alongside their respective fiancés. They decided to have a little fun and exchange fiancés for the night. They trade engagement rings and proceed to change boyfriends. They dance, drink and laugh with their cousin partner. After the wedding party, they leave on separate cars still with each other boyfriend. One of the cars is involved in a terrible crash and the couple inside dies. The other two will mourn their significant others. They will create a new and complicated relationship. The connection between the cousins is still strong after the tragedy: her spirit is present in her apartment, her clothes, her bed and her dreams.

Trivia

The inspiration
The inspiration for the movie and the plot came from true events. Tania and Daniela characters were inspired by Sara Cohen (Salomon Askenazi's wife) and her first cousin and best friend (Also named Sara Cohen). Sara & Sara had such an intense relationship that Salomon thought about doing a movie portraying that union. And once, in a wedding, they tried to play the game of "wife switch" with no success.

Clothing
The dresses that the girls (Melissa Barrera and Anahi Davila) use in the wedding scenes, actually belong to Sara Cohen, the director's wife.
