When fourteen-year-old Victoria Díaz loses both parents, one to domestic violence and the other to abandonment, she and her younger, twin brothers go to live with an aunt and her boyfriend until the boyfriend's sexual advances force Victoria to run away. Victoria must survive the brutality and poverty of street life Paraná, Argentina. A gripping story that sometimes suffers from unconvincing plot contrivances and an unrealistic ending.
