Filmed in Mexico City and the State of Zacatecas this film documents the primary circumstances, difficulties, obstacles and preoccupations that women face daily in this country. Poverty, hunger, * machismo*, mass migration, and social inequality -- these are some of the issues that are explored through their testimonies. Women from various professions, ages and social-economic statuses share their stories and their hopes for the future, and create a portrait of a Mexico where women are taking more of a central role.
