| Inhalt | "For years, Juana, who is 18 years old, was a drug addict who lived in a street gang in Mexico City. Her little 3-year old daughter suffers most under Juana's depressions, which repeatedly caused Juana to stay away from home for weeks ar a time. In these periods she was occasionally found totally stoned by her father, with whom she has a diffecult relationship. Not only was she beaten by him in her youth, but now he also thrashes her daughter. Juana loves her child with heart and soul, but for a long time she was unable to take care of her. Juana has found some hope at the NACE organization (Ninos Anónimos Con Esperanza). Through Juana's testimony, the documentary weaves the director's concern: the relationship between mother and daughter in a hostile environmentm, with frustration and poverty, where there are no apparent solutions."
