Present, Spans Several Weeks. Flashes forward three months.
About half in and around Mexico City, including in an airport, fancy villa, hotel, restaurant, bus interior, and wilderness roadside. Other half in Boston, mainly in a mansion but also a cheap apartment. One scene in Plymouth, Minnesota.
CHARLOTTE (20s) lands in Mexico City, where she meets her former cello teachers, TOMAS (Middle-Aged) and PALOMA (late 30s). They console her for the death of her mother, and thank her for coming to Mexico.
In her hotel, Charlotte looks at a magazine with a photo of LIZZIE WELLS (20s), a world-famous cello player who took Charlotte’s place after she left Tomas’ Bachoff Academy to take care of her ill mother.
That night, Charlotte helps to judge a competition held by Tomas and Paloma to decide which young girl will be given a full ride scholarship and private lessons at Tomas’ academy. She meets Lizzie, who is co-judging the competition, and notices a small B-flat tattoo that she also has. The two women form an instant connection, and, after performing a duet for the gala’s audience, sleep together.
The next morning, Lizzie convinces Charlotte to travel with her on her week-long vacation through South America. Charlotte agrees, and brings Lizzie Advil for her hangover.
As the day progresses, Lizzie becomes extremely ill. Still, she insists on going forward with the trip, and the two women board a bus to a remote part of Mexico. At first, the trip...
