Beatriz, holistic medicine practitioner is stranded at a client's house and becomes a somewhat unwilling guest at a snooty dinner party that evening. A difference of thoughts and opinions causes her to be a thorn in the side of the hosts and their invited guests.
The movie tries (or seems to try) to be deep and spiritual and in your face. But all I get from the conflict between those two caricatures is that they live in separate worlds and there's no hope and the emotional will always lose. This might be true, but the movie did not present it in a super entertaining, poetic or beautiful way.
All the actors are really really good and the awkwardness and shallowness and silliness and fakeness are portrayed well by them.
