Three thirty-something bachelors try to recharge their manhood in the seaside town where they spent their sum- mers as children.

When Diego gets dumped on the eve of his wedding, his best buddies and cousins, the macho womanizer Julian and the hypochondriac Jose Miguel, whisk him away to the village to rekindle the love of his old flame and “puppy love” Martina who still lives there.
