Synopsis
A drama that explores the lives of sisters Elena and María, one married out of obligation and the other a prostitute exploited by her pimp. The narrative delves into the duality of their lives, revealing how both, despite belonging to different social classes, face oppression and the commodification of their bodies in a patriarchal society. With a critical approach ahead of its time, Landeta challenges gender roles and exposes structural inequalities with a raw and uncompromising narrative.
