    • Synopsis
    • How do you build a “new life” when you are born without opportunities? Can you leave despair behind and project another destiny? Through a creative act, teenage girls who lived on the streets of Bogota give life to a fictional classmate. As reality prevails and fiction fades, the innocent game becomes a descent into hell where their luminous faces guide us to the depths of the dark world they once inhabited only to emerge with new skin. How to imagine a different life, break the cycle of violence and embrace the future?
