“Abril is in-between jobs and she finds out through her cousin who half owns her family ranch that she is planning to sell it. Abril sees an opportunity to improve her CV and saving the ranch, only to find out the offer is extended by her ex boyfriend Diego.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJuan Pablo and Julie have the kind of chemistry that you notice are friends in real life but thatu0026#39;s it, I cannot see it in a romantic way, in the same way I cannot see these two characters together for a long time. They have baggage and they find every opportunity to throw it at the other.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThat being said, Iu0026#39;m Argentinian, I found out about this movie a month ago, and imagine my surprise when I found out that the two leads were really Argentinian even if they relocated somewhere else a long time ago. They both speak the language perfectly and they didnu0026#39;t take that opportunity with Julie, so Iu0026#39;m sad about that.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat I liked is that the whole cast is local, and you can gather that in the way they speak English. Iu0026#39;m happy they casted and provided jobs for amateur actors.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf someone wonders, not everyone in Argentina owns a ranch but the culture is quite accurate: we like drinking mate any time of the day, we like gatherings and eating asado, vino and sweet things like churros and alfajores for dessert or for u0026quot;meriendau0026quot; aka tea time. The pink building is u0026quot;Casa Rosadau0026quot; the presidential building, we are also shown u0026quot;Caminitou0026quot; and Plaza de Mayo, all located in downtown Buenos Aires. And even the crisis in 2001 is mentioned. Iguazu falls is located in the northern province named u0026quot;Misionesu0026quot;, approximately and hour and a half by plane from Buenos Aires.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo, as the whole the movie was a joy for me, I felt seen. But seeing it a just a Hallmark movie the romantic chemistry leaves a lot to be desired. The ending alone can leave a couple of questions unanswered.”
