In late 1980s Mexico, wild and wise eight-year-old Roberta watches her family of seven women fight to save their home from mounting debt, a struggle that reshapes how she sees herself and those around her. Joyfully nostalgic, with a sharp dose of lurking reality, writer-director Mayra Hermosillo has crafted a very special film that celebrates the necessity of self-belief and sisterhood in overcoming the many obstacles life throws your way.
