The Exchange
Antonio and Inés are two complete strangers who arrange a meeting through a second-hand app. Inés wants to sell something she no longer tolerates; Antonio wants to try it. When they meet, an odd sense of mutual understanding emerges between them. However, what we do privately is not always something we want to acknowledge.
