SYNOPSIS
Margarita left school at age 11, became a mother at 13, and by 15 had three children. After the death of her mother and her husband’s departure to the United States, she was forced to give up her third child.
The film captures her journey as she prepares for her 33rd birthday and the graduation of two of her children, including the daughter she was once compelled to surrender.
