It is the story of a young Jewish woman from Mexico City who finds herself torn between her family and her forbidden love with a non-Jewish man.

Ariela, a young artist in Mexico City from a Syrian Jewish family is pressured into finding an appropriate partner. As her closest friend got married and all eyes are on her. They expect that she'll be the next one. Problems arise when her family learns that she's dating a "goy". In fact, she develops feelings for a non-Jewish man, Iván. This presents her with a dilemma as she weighs up the relationship against the disapproval of her family and community. Iván allows her to discover the world outside the bubble of her community, leading to an important transition in her adult life.

But the story is much more than that. It's about a woman becoming her own. Making her own mistakes, by making her own decisions, painting her own image in a truly white canvas.
