## Synopsis

[edit]

Juliana is a thirteen-year-old girl who runs away from home to get away from her stepfather's abuse. On the streets, she must face the struggle to survive. She soon discovers the marginalization girls face when trying to get street work and decides to cut her hair and disguise herself as a boy. She joins a group of boys who sing in Lima's microbuses, protected and exploited at the same time by a crook. Juliana's rebellious nature and her feminine strength lead her to head a child revolution.
