Bye bye, Paraíso

A portrait of dreams, romantic love, and the heartbreaking dilemma between staying or leaving.

After a youth marked by limitations, Vilma (45) has finally achieved the privileged life she always dreamed of. In a beachfront house located in one of Costa Rica’s most exclusive tourist areas, she waits alone for the annual visit of her American partner, who sustains this lifestyle from afar. But this year, he doesn’t show up, cuts off communication, and the money begins to run out. Amid the overwhelming tourist atmosphere, Vilma is forced to face paradise without her “Prince Charming.”
