Lila and Marcela have always worked on the cleaning staff of a state office. They know its nooks and crannies better than anyone, and have found a way to support themselves - and a dream - running a clandestine kitchen in an abandoned corner of the building.

The kitchen is closed and a wave of redundancies disrupts the precarious equilibrium in the office, making everyday tasks a struggle for survival.
