Exes + one villa + a mobster buyer = chaos under the Acapulco sun.
A husband and wife are getting divorced. The bone of contention is a villa in Mexico, in Acapulco. Finally, the luxurious mansion is put up for auction, and the heroes go their separate ways. Time passes. The ex-spouses decide to celebrate the New Year in the mansion that has not yet been sold - of course, each is sure that he is the only one who came up with this bright idea. In addition, a buyer for the villa, the local Al Capone, appears on the doorstep of the house.
Acting
Olga Kabo and Igor Vernik's divorced-couple chemistry is deliciously petty.
Production
Acapulco locations clearly someone's actual vacation home.
Director
Oksana Bayrak
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Director Oksana Bayrak built her career on precisely this formula: photogenic stars, foreign beaches, relationship chaos. This is her comfort zone and she knows it.
