In a long take, we follow the reality of a social housing neighbourhood in Mexico City. Burdened by debts to the mafia, the merchants in the area receive a threat.
Joséphine is a 15-year-old girl who lives with her mother and siblings in a kind of campsite that has been converted into a home. The family's routine is marked by difficulties and the absence of maternal care. When social services request Joséphine's testimony against her own mother, she finds herself torn between a sense of loyalty and the desire to change her reality and that of her siblings. It is at this moment that Elsa appears, a teenager from the same place, whose friendship provides her with the opportunity to feel like just a girl of her own age.
A story in which the Stone of Destiny is not just a plot device or MacGuffin, but the main character. In this case, the Stone of Destiny wants to discover its own, well, destiny. A musical about finding one’s way.
