Overview
Julia inherited her mother Asunta’s job as a domestic worker in the wealthy De la Puente household, where she was raised alongside the family’s daughters. Asunta, an Andean woman who migrated to Lima after Peru’s 1970 earthquake, carried a life shaped by displacement, silence, and sacrifice. Over the years, affection and inequality became inseparably intertwined within the household. Now, as illness and old age expose long-buried secrets, Julia is forced to confront the invisible social order that has defined her existence. Torn between loyalty and freedom, she must decide whether to remain in the role imposed on her or finally reclaim her own identity.
