Sinopsis
Fiction. The curtain opens at the Eden Palace, where the final of an international women's bodybuilding competition will take place in 48 hours. Léa Pearl competes for the first time for the prestigious title of Miss Heaven, to which she has dedicated four years of work. Al, her mentor and a former bodybuilding star, cares for her with great insistence, hoping that his pearl (or Pearl) will bring the stage lights back to him. However, a few hours before the finale, Léa is assaulted by the shadows of the past: Ben, her ex-husband, arrives at Eden Palace and has had no other idea than to bring Joseph, their son, who she has not seen for four years.
