Overview

Monica is 13 years old and has already created her own world, on the street, where she fights courageously to defend what little she has: her friends, her boyfriend, who sells drugs, and her dignity and pride that makes no concessions to anyone. On Christmas night, like every night, she sells roses to make a living. But life brings her a new appointment with loneliness, poverty, drugs and death.

A stark portrait of childhood stripped of childhood, following a 13-year-old girl navigating street life with fierce pride against crushing odds. It's unflinching but never exploitative, centering Monica's resilience even as poverty and loss close in around her.
