Daniela would like to live far away from here in the future. Here, is a poor part of town in Montevideo, where Daniela lives in a small house with her son, husband, mother, sister and brother-in-law. They are better off than most of the people living in that neighborhood. They all work and the father provides them with whatever they need. He is one of the millions of emigrants from Latin America whose salaries are essential to the survival of their families. The movie carefully approaches Daniela’s world, tells her story, a girl immersed in daydreaming, who is also a down-to-earth mother, beloved daughter and young wife – and about the pain of emigration.
