Carpe Diem

Some places make falling for someone feel completely inevitable.

The Caribbean. Crystal blue water. White sand. The colours and warmth of Venezuela wrap around you like something you didn't know you'd been missing. And at a beach party, to the beat of the drums, two strangers find each other.

Daniela Escalona and Manuel Melinkoff play two people who can't help themselves; the chemistry between them is as electric and unstoppable as the music they're dancing to. What begins on the dance floor ends exactly where it was always going.

Carpe Diem is a real, romantic, and deeply sensual story about the holiday encounters that stay with you long after you've gone home, the ones that only happen when you're somewhere beautiful, far from your ordinary life, and completely open to whatever comes next.
