Ada, a violinist with a string quartet, is an unfulfilled woman. She has not had an orgasm in her life, and wonders what it would be like to experience one. Going back to her early school days, when she was a popular girl with a lot of friends, now finds herself as an adult longing for that type of experience. She gets not one, but two opportunities to find out, when she runs into Luis, a former classmate, now a popular television host. Luis takes her to a sex club where "live performances" by a couple on stage, intrigues her. Another act by a clown reveals another childhood friend, Lorenzo, who is making ends meet working as a clown. Will Ada finally get to act on her wild imagination? Well, yes, and no!

The comedy, directed by Emilio Martinez Lazaro, who co-wrote the screenplay with Daniela Fejerman, goes for the easy laugh, targeting it to a probably local audience that goes for this kind of entertainment. The premise does not ring true from beginning to end. Veronica Sanchez, who plays Ada, has some good moments. The Lorenzo of Ernesto Alterio does not ring true. Added to that, his excessive makeup, highlighted by black eyeliner, would probably be a turn off for any prospective bed mates. Alberto San Juan does what he can with a role that does not add much to his career. Best of all, Luis Bermejo seen as the neighbor who is shocked by the noise coming out of the apartment across the hall. No wonder he repairs to the kitchen to bake his pastries.
