Paty, an indigenous woman belonging to the Wixarika people, serves as her community's representative on the National Indigenous Congress (Congreso Nacional Indígena, CNI). In the 2018 federal elections, the CNI united to advocate for Mexico's native peoples, with Marichuy as their spokeswoman on the presidential ticket. Paty embarks on a journey that frequently takes her away from home for extended periods, while her husband, Rubén, takes care of their children. Throughout her travels, Paty contemplates her chosen path and confronts her past by visiting the places of her childhood. Scarred by her father's domestic violence, she channels her pain into a new way of life aimed at empowering the women in her community.
