Set against the backdrop of growing political tensions in early 2000s Bogotá, Burbuja unravels the delicate bonds of friendship between four upper-class teenage girls as their sheltered world begins to crack. Valentina, seemingly confident yet deeply insecure, masks her need for approval beneath a polished facade. Her best friend, Paulina, is bold and independent, while Bea and Gabi round out the group with their own contrasting personalities.

When Valentina discovers Paulina is romantically involved with the boy she secretly admires, jealousy and betrayal ignite a chain reaction. In a moment of wounded pride, Valentina orchestrates a hurtful prank that tests their friendships. As the consequences unfold, the girls are forced to confront the cracks in their relationships and the reality of the social divide beyond their bubble.
