Lila, Ámbar, Marcela, and Lisete—four sex workers—share a close-knit household until Lisete’s tragic death and Marcela’s departure leave the remaining two struggling. As they navigate grief and isolation, Miriam enters their lives, catalyzing change and emotional intimacy in unexpected ways. Set against Buenos Aires in the mid‑’90s, the film reflects themes of community, survival, and queer identity in an era of marginalization.
