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.
