Sinopsis

Lourdes and her family live a few meters from a large lead mine that contaminates the environment in which they live. Lourdes’ children suffer from serious diseases caused by heavy metal pollution, with consequences on their life expectations. The need to take the children away from that area that is killing them clashes with the social and economic impossibility of imagining a future anywhere else.
