Synopsis:
When Soledad (Inés Efrón) is ditched by her boyfriend, she resolves to spend the next three years of her life single to avoid suffering another let-down in love. Soledad - who almost constantly believes herself to be ill - meets a man with whom she unexpectedly hits it off, but just then her ex calls saying he wants to get back together, obliging her to make a decision.
