Contratiempo

Antonio "Dexter" Jimenez is a single father, divorced, focus on his work and getting by. But everything changes when his old friend finds him again after many years and decides to bring "Vulvox" back, their old rock band they founded back in the 90s. They get their old bandmate Charlie, and they recruit a new one called Karime, a singer who's 20 years younger than them, but will attract a younger audience. Although it's a small local band, all four of them are really excited. However, Dexter is also concerned about it because, even though music is his passion, it also brings along several bad experiences from his past and addictions that may cost him everything he loves and cherishes.
