After being unfairly fired from her job, an indigenous Mayan woman will have to test the limits of her will in order to conceal her pregnancy and stay true to her identity while working in the abusive environment of a clandestine Yucatan sweatshop. Sometimes the harshest treatment will take the form of cruelty inflicted by her equally mistreated coworkers.
