Paloma is a thirty-five-year-old single mother whose best friend is her fifteen-year-old son, Hector. The two are inseparable and share their free time, their secrets and intimate confessions. But their relationship is destined to change during a seaside vacation when Hector meets Jazmin and the attraction is immediate and mutual. It is a shock when the young mother discovers that her son is attracted to another girl: besides the surprise, she is upset at the idea of being pushed aside. The consequences can only be funny.

Declaration
film director
“In the first treatment of Club Sandwich the main character was Hector, an adolescent who experiences his sexual awakening while on vacation with his mother – it was a coming of age story. During the writing process I tried to talk with teenagers about adolescence, but they tended to be very reserved regarding this topic, as well as many others, so I decided to talk with their mothers instead. Through these interviews I soon realized that the main character of the story was Paloma, the mother.”
