Sand Dollars

Noeli, a young Dominican girl, goes every afternoon to the beaches at Las Terrenas. Together with her boy- friend, she looks for a way to make a living at the expense of one of the hundreds of tourists that wander around there.

As people parade through her days, Noeli has a steady client: a mature French woman, who as time goes by, has found in the island the ideal refuge to spend her last years.

Noeli's boyfriend feigns to be her brother and outlines a plan in which Noeli travels to Paris with the old lady and sends him money every month.

For Noeli, the relationship with the old lady is based on convenience, but feelings become more intense as the departure date closes in.
