Rosa does not know how to be happy. She just can not.

Drama

Rosa, is a prostitute who inherited the profession from Antonia, her mother, who thinks she is Sara Montiel and turns her daily life in a hell. Rosa does not know how to be happy. She just can not. But the unexpected arrival of a new member to her particular (and absurd) family will give her a unique opportunity to achieve happiness

VIBE

A stark, unflinching look at a life steeped in inherited hardship. It feels like a heavy, lived-in drama, exploring the desperate search for light in the darkest of circumstances. Expect emotional weight and raw performances.
