Between the city and the country, the subtle modern forms of slavery unfold. A girl disappears down the mountain to wait at the edge of the highway for the pick-up truck that will transport her to the city. Once there, children’s voices surround her and Carmen peeks into the entrance to a school. Lined up and in uniform, those girls are not the ones Carmen will join.
