Two very different screenwriters are sent to a Pyrenees monastery to finish a romantic-film script they have struggled to write.

The story

Miguel, older and bad-tempered, and Aurelio, younger and more health-conscious, share a problem: they lack inspiration to finish a script for a romantic film set in Scotland. Their production company sends them to spend a season at a monastery in a small Aragonese village in the Pyrenees, hoping they can complete the assignment there. They are set to meet their neighbors, including Mariana, the village baker, who is described as dazzling both physically and mentally.

Full plot (contains spoilers)

Miguel and Aurelio are two very different screenwriters: the former is older and bad-tempered, while the latter is younger and leads a healthier lifestyle. But they have one thing in common: they lack the inspiration to finish the script for a romantic film set in Scotland. The production company sends them to spend a season at a monastery in a small Aragonese village, in the heart of the Pyrenees, to see if they can complete the assignment. There, the two writers will meet their neighbors and, in particular, the village baker, a girl who is dazzling both physically and mentally. Without realizing it, Mariana will become the protagonist of the story they are writing.
