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 marginalization 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.
They’re losers and they don’t know it, that’s why they cling to a hope that’s always on the move and will never wait for them. Hatred and loneliness, let-downs and disproportionate loves, animals of uncertainty and desperation. Whose dreams come true lately anyway?
