Synopsis
12-year-old Saslaya and her younger brother Dario have been living with their grandfather in Nicaragua since their mother went to Costa Rica to look for work eight years ago. Saslaya, who has to work in the rubbish dumps after school, runs away with her brother. On the journey to Costa Rica they meet many different people: a street kid that they befriend for the short time that they're in the city, an older man who runs a puppet theater and immigrants who are looking for work in Costa Rica as well.
