Synopsis:

A young Cuban named Olga arrives in Spain with a scholarship convinced that she has landed the chance of a lifetime. Deciding to stay, she eventually becomes an illegal immigrant, suffering the brunt of marginalisation and, unable to return home, having to get by as she can. Mari Jo is a young girl from a poor Valencian suburb, born into a family with nothing but problems. Fate has marked her life as she too becomes an outcast. Both end up working illegally in a furniture factory where they earn three times less than the minimum legal salary.

Cuban Olga (Puerto Rican thesp Yoima Valdes) arrives on Spain's east coast claiming to be on a scholarship, but actually destined for a local furniture factory run by an unnamed owner (Lola Molto) and her foreman Johnny (Juan Carlos Morales), who has an industrial-sized libido. Foul-tempered Mari Jo (Leyre Berrocal) also works there, earning a few extra bucks at night as a prostitute. The harsh realities of immigrant life chip slowly away at Olga's self-esteem, but the fire in her revives when she catches Mari Jo with Johnny in the warehouse. Characters' victimhoods -- as workers, women and immigrants -- are sledgehammered in without any let-up...
