Carmín wants to go and live with her mother in the capital, but her dream is crushed when her mother moves to the United States with her new husband. Struggling with puberty, she is forced to stay in her small town with her grandmother, a tough, conservative woman. The arrival of her father, who has been in jail for years, makes Carmín’s life even more uncomfortable. Now she has to learn how to live between abandonment and care; between desire and love.
