Story
A divorced man tries to win over a lesbian, his new roommate, by becoming a transvestite.
Summary
In Tenerife, biologist Rolondo leases a house to study mussel mating habits, unaware it's inhabited by chaotic, hedonistic Paula. As Rolondo observes mollusks' fluid sexuality, he finds himself drawn to Paula, who challenges his scientific detachment with her vibrant disorder. Yet, Rolondo's affections face an obstacle: Paula prefers women. Undeterred, Rolondo reinvents himself as a transvestite, hoping to win Paula over while maintaining his academic pursuit of clams and mussels' romantic entanglements.
