ASHLEY, a pretty forty-something straight out of “Sex and The City”, heads a communication agency in New York. She is as sufficient as she is superficial, and has a passion for stiletto shoes. Her delusions of grandeur dangerously put her agency on the verge of filing for bankruptcy. Despite the risk, she continues to operate according to her characteristic mode of action and seduces the Russian CEO of a high-end jewelry brand to obtain the budget of the last chance.
She finds herself catapulted in tailored suit and stiletto heels on a dream tropical island, to plan a jewelry line launch for her new client. Paradise is only very short lived! Everything goes from the frying pan into the fire in this country of ‘barbarians’, which works in slow motion and where nothing goes according to plan. Ashley discovers a world diametrically opposed to the one in which she evolves. A country anchored in ancestral rituals, where one appreciates simple pleasures, and whose motto is Carpe Diem!
