También esto pasará (This Too Shall Pass) is about one 40-years-old woman´s unforgettable search for a meaningful life. The main character, Blanca, has just lost her mother. To ease her dizzying grief and confusion, she returns to Cadaqués, a small village in the coast, accompanied by her two sons, her two ex-husbands and two best friends, and makes a plan to meet her married lover for a few stolen moments as well. Surrounded by those who she loves most, she spends the summer finding ways to reconnect and understand what it means to truly, happily live in her own terms, just as her mother would have wanted.
