In this intense, affecting drama, two teenage girls in Mexico City with very different living situations form an unlikely friendship, which is tested and damaged when one of the girls is brutally assaulted. An insightful look at the impact of trauma and violence against women, this film shows the devastating ripple effects of abuse.

What are critics saying?
This tale of Mexican poverty refuses to lapse into sensation or melodrama.
This powerfully rough slice of neo-realism, hitched to soapy melodrama, puts a heartbreakingly human face on the widespread problem of sexual assault in Mexico.
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
Very strong stuff, and Sistach has inspired such young actors as Ayala and Gutiérrez to give sustained and harrowing portrayals.
