The story follows Rosalba, a neglected housewife from a small town, who is accidentally left behind at a highway rest stop during a family vacation.

In this enchanting city, Rosalba rediscovers her independence and self-worth, meeting a cast of colorful characters along the way, including a charming flower seller and a mysterious private detective.
