A coming-of-age animated biography exploring one woman's journey toward self-determination within a Colombian family bound by religious hypocrisy and social performance.

Paola grows up in a Colombian family full of appearances: her father is a priest, her mother a psychic, and her sisters don’t live up to their parents’ expectations. She seeks independence in a world full of stereotypes and learns to live on her own terms, as a series of experiences gradually shape her personality.
