In Panamanian director Mariel García Spooner's delightful romantic comedy, Ana (Elizabeth Grimaldo) is a high-end wedding planner and event organizer who scores a gig working on the wedding of the season, with more than 600 guests invited to celebrate the nuptials of famed actress and influencer Lucía de la Fuente (Andrea Pérez Meana) and wealthy businessman Hector Herrero (Andres Lutrell) in Panama City's lushly historic Casco Antiguo. At the same time, Ana is also busy planning her own, far less high-profile wedding to call center employee Marcos (Pablo Brunstein). When a strange turn of events sees Ana accidently steal Lucía's luxurious $20,000 wedding dress, the young bride-to-be decides to run with it — literally — resolving to make the most of fate and get married in style before she's caught by Lucía or the authorities. As Ana and her pursuers engage in a mad dash across Panama City, the would-be bride has a chance to reflect on the meaning of true love, rearrange her priorities and learn a little bit more about herself along the way.
