Synopsis:

With the help of dancer and choreographer Ana Continente, we learn the stories of women from Guatemala who were victims of men’s violence. Testimonies of women and their relatives reveal the extent of the crimes whose perpetrators almost as a rule did not get punished even though every year up to five hundred women lose their lives because of this problem.
