Christopher Evan Welch narrates the exploits of two American friends, Vicky and Cristina, who are spending the summer in Barcelona. Vicky is engaged to Doug, who's back in the States, while Cristina is most definitely single, and adventurous. At an art exhibition, they meet Juan Antonio Gonzalo, artist and lothario, who takes a shine to both women, and invites them back to his hometown Oviedo, hoping to be more than just their tour guide. Vicky's initial unease at the jaunt is overruled by Cristina, and the visit sparks a complex romantic entanglement. But the fireworks are truly lit when Gonzalo's unstable wife Maria Elena arrives on the scene.
