Gaby and Rafa are two university students whose oasis of pink tones is interrupted when Rafa becomes pregnant after a night of debauchery.

They both set out to earn enough to pay for expensive abortion pills through a series of odd part-time jobs, straining their friendship in the process.[4][5][6]
