A filmmaker, who is part of a study on economic and social dynamics in Colombia, filmed 7 families over 13 years to see their changes and understand the pitfalls of poverty. On that journey he finds stories of female resilience such as that of Angie and Daniela, a pair of cousins from Simijaca (Cundinamarca) aged 9 and 10, raised by widowed mothers who dream of becoming fashion designers and models; The story of Mildred (Norte de Santander), a single mother affected by a geological fault that destroyed her village and must raise her four children in a shelter, while her youngest son dreams of becoming a singer; and the story of Inés, a single mother on the rural coast, whose only son is murdered, and who tries to provide for her seven daughters while teenage pregnancy grows in a sexist and unequal environment. The director interprets what he sees as he revisits his own life in which he suffered lack of access to basic necessities and different struggles. At the end life is a game.
