SYNOPSIS

EVA is a 29-year-old South American girl on the run from an abusive ex-partner. Growing up too fast, she had already experienced the worst human perversions by the time she was 18. RAINBOW, 30, is a former TV star who became entangled in the character of Papaya, which she played when she was 14 and still plays in a hot version for an X-rated site. Their uneventful encounter will redefine their place in the world, to say the least, and give each an unexpected and unpredictable opportunity to reconcile with herself and take revenge. Eva will find the courage to reconnect with the daughter she abandoned ten years earlier, while Rainbow will be able to exorcise Papaya and move on.
