Lola and Ana are two friends who share an apartment in Spain. Much to Lola's surprise, one day, Ana brings her a letter with news of an unexpected suitor from abroad.

"Sam from America" is scheduled to arrive to visit Lola much sooner than anticipated and, while the girls are super excited, their neighbor, Pablo, may not share their enthusiasm.

While Lola and Ana do their best to communicate with their somewhat strange new roommate, it seems Sam's poor Spanish could lead to some misunderstandings.

Ana and Lola are in agreement that while "Sam from America" seems nice enough, he is definitely not the heartthrob they had envisioned.
