Absolutely shattered, she decides not to sink further and chooses to do her best to remain standing. From then on, Inga will set the rules in her life and she will choose herself above all. Alone, she will also fight against corruption and injustice that reigns in her community. To do this, she will try to accomplish the support of the rest of farmers of the community to end the toxic situation that the local cooperative is generating, however, she will find great resistance that will force her to challenge the dependence and loyalty to which she is committed to her community. This is a story of self-improvement, struggle and personal motivation, but also with many funny points that will turn it into a different film.
