Not all summer loves die when autumn arrives.
First love is unforgettable, no matter how much Maider Azurmendi tries to erase the memories of that summer in the late 90s with Rubén Segura, her campmate. From a young age, Rubén displayed his interest in Maider in the only way he knew: by teasing her. For Maider, Rubén was just a pain in the ass until the summer of 1995, when her feelings for him began to blossom, and she became open to Rubén’s advances.
Their connection deepened over the winter through the letters they exchanged, intensifying their feelings for one another.
The summer of 1998 marked a turning point. Their relationship had flourished and matured, but it came to an abrupt halt the night they decided to lose their virginity and experienced a condom mishap. The relationship ended following the appalling treatment by healthcare workers, Maider’s parents’ refusal to let them stay together, and the possible pregnancy of the young woman.
After the incident, Maider fell into a deep depression, and it took two years before she would see Rubén again at the camp. This time, she arrived with her new boyfriend, eliciting Rubén’s disapproval. The distance and tension between the (ex)couple only grew.
Years later, now both adults with their professional careers in progress, they encounter each other once more. Maider doesn’t hesitate to open up and share everything she has gone through since their separation, but for Rubén, it’s too late. He has received a promotion at his job, and to avoid professional setbacks, he must relocate to another country. Even though their love is now impossible, neither of them will forget the intense and profound love they shared during those summers.
