Two young sisters, Ramona and Helga, migrate from the Chilean countryside to the city in the late 1960s. When they arrive in Santiago, they work selling wine in a camp that is set up on the outskirts of the city. The business prospers and they decide to stay there with their new friend, Carmen, a prostitute who teaches them to survive in this new world of misery and marginalization.
It is the year 1967 and the poor on the outskirts of the city are organizing to seize land that will allow them to build permanent homes. Little by little the three women are incorporated into the political organization of the land seizure that promises to remove them from marginality. To survive they work as cleaners, laundresses or nightclub dancers. The lives of these three women portray the struggle of thousands of poor people for a better life that culminated in 1970 with the election of the popular government of Salvador Allende. It is the story of a family of three women who come together to fulfill the dreams of justice for an entire country.
