Plot
Upon leaving a movie theater, a woman and a man accidentally meet at the cinema's door. Intrigued by the charm of the moment, they decide to continue their conversation at a nearby café. There, between sips of coffee and nervous laughter, they delve into a fascinating fantasy: they transform into who they have always dreamed of being. She, a bestselling novelist; he, an astronaut exploring new worlds. Together, they create a parallel universe where they can be themselves without the constraints of daily life.
They decide to meet every Thursday at the same time in the same café, where the boundaries between reality and dreams blur. As the weeks go by, this shared fantasy becomes an emotional refuge, where they discover each other beyond the masks that life has imposed on them. As their connection grows, love begins to blossom amidst their shared dreams.
However, when their real lives start to intertwine with that bubble of dreams, they face unforeseen challenges that will test their relationship. Expectations, external pressures, and the fear of losing what they have built together force them to fight for their love, even when the fantasy threatens to crumble. The question will be: Will they be able to protect their connection in a world that does not understand their vision of love and life?
