Love is Not What It Used to Be is the story of the physical law of divergent trajectories in several couples: Alex comes across Lucias life, two youngsters who start discovering each other. Paz y Jorge see how their relationship is fading and they don't know what to do. Albert and Irene meet after some decades of separation and it seemed were not going to join again.

15 years after exile from his own country, Tomas returns home to Spain to bury his father, a Republican who was imprisoned under Franco's regime. Coming home, Tomas finds an unsettled world, venturing on a journey of revenge.

A tale of unappeased desires, forbidden yearnings and conflicted choices begin to unfold as a couple prepares for their wedding in the pale desert.

Three women, three eras, one destiny; in 1923, Violeta falls in love with a young man who wants to flee to France; in 1941, Inês lives in a desert waiting for her lost lover, Paco; in 1975, Luísa realises that she was afraid to love her whole life.
