Grace's daughter, Ansiedad, feels neglected and seeks independence, finding inspiration in the coming-of-age stories she reads for school. Determined to expedite her journey to adulthood, Ansiedad devises a plan.
This heartfelt and relatable film delves into the struggles of both mother and daughter as they navigate their complex lives. Grace's attempts to provide for her family and maintain a stable home clash with her own desires for love and fulfillment. Meanwhile, teenage Ansiedad yearns for more attention and control over her own destiny.
As Ansiedad embarks on her own coming-of-age journey, she makes a series of questionable decisions, pushing herself into precocious situations. Deviating from the traditional path to adulthood, she believes she can orchestrate her own personal growth.

This film is perfect for audiences seeking a heartfelt and thought-provoking story. It serves as a reminder that personal growth and maturity cannot always be rushed, and that sometimes, the most important moments in life are the ones we experience without a plan.
