Yessica is a troubled teenage girl living in a poor neighborhood in Mexico City and she has to endure a tough mother and a vile stepbrother. When she meets Miriam, an innocent girl with a better family, she finds shelter and a best friend. However, their friendship comes at a price.

Shame of a particular adolescent sort can be expelled with a self-esteem boost, a bubble bath, and borrowed fragrance—but warding off other danger is more difficult to handle. Making room for girlhood’s glitter and laughter, this coming-of-age film at the same time lays the threat of misogyny bare.
