About
Three young women live, suffer and enjoy themselves in Ciudad Juárez. They are alike in terms of their origin, they all come from the lower classes, however, Chuya, Cata and "La Güera" have their own environments, their own families and their own personalities. This triangular story shows some crucial moments in their lives: their first love, their first sexual encounter, their first pregnancy, their first disappointment, which take place in a reality that is sordid, but always vital.
