Smiley Plot/Synopsis
The official Netflix synopsis of the series reads, “Two men and their friends in Barcelona navigate hesitations, hangups and missed connections as they search for the true love they’ve been missing.”
The story follows Álex, who is heartbroken. He was building fantasies with a boy that, a couple of weeks later, disappeared giving him perfect ghosting. And he is really upset because of it. He picks up the phone and asks out for an explanation in a voicemail that will have unexpected consequences because he ends up sending it by mistake to Bruno, who he doesn’t know at all. This innocent first mislead is the first one in a chain of events that will change Alex and Bruno’s life forever.
In the trailer, we see that the two strangers end up meeting each other and even dating, but their conflicting personalities become a tie-breaker. But no matter the number of differences, it seems like they might have actually fallen in love with each other. However, will they give their connection another chance or decide to go separate ways, is to look out for.
