Paulina lives and works in a small hotel in the northern town near the border. She and her friend Nadia dream of a different, paradise and exotic world. Their dream is unattainable and completely unrelated to reality, so the girls come up with their toy-world, trying to imagine themselves inside it as "someone else."
