Carmen and Alfredo live a happy, quiet life in the suburbs surrounded by friends and family. After Alfredo receives a promotion, the two move away to Mexico City where they immediately feel the social pressure of being overweight in a bustling metropolis full of beautiful people. Taking the initiative, Carmen convinces her husband to join her in losing weight, but their relationship is put to the test when Alfredo’s program yields far better results than Carmen’s. From award-winning director Marianna Chenillo comes a touching comedy about how true beauty comes from the inside and paradise is closer to home than you might think.

Plot

Carmen and Alfredo have a wonderful life in Ciudad Satélite, a middle-class suburban area in Naucalpan, State of Mexico and one of México City's suburbs. Their relationship is stable, they get along great, and they have family and friends nearby. A great opportunity for professional advancement requires them to move into the noisy, stressful Federal District (México City proper). Relationships there are cold and calculating as a result of the stress and competition typical of major cities, and this change has a major impact on the couple.
