José Luis (Quim Gutiérrez) just has been stood up in the altar and, if that’s not enough,
　　Mari Carmen (Carmen Machi), his persistent mother, has blinded herself on go with him on his honeymoon, with the excuse of not wasting the money. Every minute that they spend together in Mauritius, José Luis is feeling more unhappy and washed-up. Meanwhile, Mari Carmen is having the time of her life, living all the experiences that she has always wanted and revealing herself as the wonderful woman she really is and that nobody in her family can see.

本片基于艾米·利普羅特所著回憶錄，她和芬沙伊德改編劇本，講述剛從康復(fù)中心出來的羅娜在離開十多年后，回到了蘇格蘭的奧克尼群島，回到童年時的牧羊場，再度體會到了自然之美和靜謐的珍貴。
