One man... three women... one night

DramaRomance

A defrocked Episcopal clergyman leads a bus-load of middle-aged Baptist women on a tour of the Mexican coast and comes to terms with the failure haunting his life.

VIBE

A humid, suffocating atmosphere hangs heavy over this sun-drenched Mexican coast. Characters grapple with existential dread and carnal desires, their confessions echoing in the oppressive heat. It's a languid, introspective journey into the heart of human frailty.
