SYNOPSIS

Julia returns to her hometown and her neighborhood from which she left years ago after a scam. Officially, the reason of this return is that she has to sign a permit to authorize her daughter to expatriate with her father; but, and above all, she needs recover some money that she left there, and that would solve many problems for her. This reunion with her past will not turn out as expected.
