Synopsis:

16-year-old Maia and her single father Piqui take us on a journey through the conurbano of Buenos Aires. A dialog develops between the two and the scenes of everyday bonarense life. Maia is directly confronted with a femicide in her circle of friends for the first time, while Piqui has been involved in activist struggles and forms of self-organization in the neighbourhood for decades. Play, humor and music are the connecting moments between daughter and father in their struggles for justice. The film tells a story between Shakira and political subjectivation.
