Synopsis. Antuca, a young Andean domestic worker, decides to return to her community. A decade has passed since the day she was forcibly transferred to Lima to do domestic work in the house of her godmother's brother. From that day on, she has cherished the illusion of returning. The reunion with her community and her teenage love will brace her, but she will painfully realise that they now belong to two different worlds.
