Barcelona
I mean here I am in Spain with, like, a totally hot local Spanish guy from a tapas bar and we're drinking Rioja and I mean, if this isn't the ultimate romantic, like, you know, like Dos Equis guy fantasy? Do you guys have that commercial?
Late one night in Barcelona, an American tourist goes home with a handsome Spaniard. What begins as a flirty one-night stand becomes an invitation to danger, as the personal and the political unsettlingly intertwine.
