Synopsis
A comedy which spans across twelve hours of nightlife in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The tale weaves together five parallel, intercut stories, featuring several colorful characters: three divorced ladies who go out-on-the-town, in search of new men, and meet trouble and fun while they bond; an elderly taxi driver who works the overnight shift to pay for his beloved wife's medication and winds up a hero in some regards; a male gigolo who turns a trick that he'd rather forget; a young teenager who--coaxed by her peers--sets out to lose her virginity; and a frustrated TV reporter who gets her big break when she inadvertently stops a robbery, while capturing it all on tape. All of their lives intertwine during a single, crazy, fateful night.
