A narrative full of images and emotions. In the 1950s, Juana, a young girl from Andalusia, emigrates with her family to Barcelona to escape from hunger and poverty. Like a post-war Cinderella, she begins working in the house of Salud Monterde and her daughters, who have made a fortune thanks to dubious dealings. As life destroys all her hopes, the love of Liberto, a persecuted anarchist, becomes her only refuge.
