This film is about two Jewish teenagers growing up in Mexico City in the 60s. One is from a Sephardic Jewish background. Her relatives came from Turkey to Mexico. They speak Ladino, the language spoken by the Jews in Spain when they were kicked out by Columbus' backers Ferdinand and Isabella. She has a big family. The other has only her parents and one uncle. Her family was executed during the Holocaust. Rejecting the social and political traditions, will they find happiness? (official distributor synopsis)
