LUCIA G. ROMERO

Jessica is a 14-year-old teenager from a marginalized background. The abuse she suffered from her father from a young age has made her a violent and self-destructive girl, even toward her younger sister, 8-year-old Alma, with whom she shares a hostile relationship. Following a misunderstanding, Jessica must go to the food assistance office with her sister during the San Juan festival. During this journey, the two sisters learn to treat each other with a little more kindness.
