Alicia Sandoval is a single mother who has made great sacrifices to give her daughter, Carolina, a good education. Alicia's best friend is Chole, an indigenous woman who lives with her mother, Lich, a very lively old woman, and with her daughter, Lupita, who is ashamed of her indigenous origin and therefore looks down on her mother and grandmother. Carolina and Lupita go to high school together, where they become great friends.
