"Why are we Colombians who live in Antofagasta afraid?" Filmmaker Angélica Valverde seeks to answer this question by reconstructing her experience in this city, with Rafaela and Carmenza, immigrant women who, like she, came to the north of Chile to realize their dreams. To try to overcome it, to observe how each copes with the fear, this rejection produced.

Carmenza is a hard-working colombian woman. She lives in a slum in Antofagasta with her grandson Yorman. She works as a housemaid and tries to raise money for Yorman’s mother, who is ill in Colombia. Carmenza wants Yorman to return with her to their country so he can meet his mother, but he knows that the only option he has to get out of this environment is to stand out in football and be able to play in the local soccer club.
