SYNOPSIS: Art Basel is about to begin in Miami, and Mariana, the director of a swanky modern art gallery, has a serious problem on her hands. Her showroom is an active crime scene. And when Mariana’s larger-than-life movie-star mother shows up, stealing the spotlight yet again, things get even more complicado. Part caper comedy, part telenovela, a fast-paced, joyous story of art and success, mothers and daughters.
