Lupita's hard-knock life has gotten the better of her time and time
again. A childhood robbed of innocence set off a chain of events that
she still has not managed to control, no matter how hard she tries.
Every time she thinks she has a handle on things, unexpected turns make
her question everything, including herself.
When Lupita witnesses the murder of a local politician whom she greatly
admires, the ghosts of her past resurface as she tries to cope with the
present. She quickly falls back into her old self-destructive habits and
becomes a target of Mexico's corrupt political machine. As the powers
that be kick into high gear to ensure the truth remains hidden, Lupita
finds solace in the purity of indigenous traditions. While she learns
how to live simply, like her ancestors, she comes to understand herself
and rediscovers light within a dark life. And if there is hope for
Lupita's redemption, perhaps there is hope for Mexico.
