GUAZUVIRÁ
Twelve-year-old Juana smokes and claims to be pregnant. At the end of an immutable summer, she wanders between absence and discontent with the adult world. During those hot and humid days, she weaves a web of lies that ends in disaster. She is caught stealing from the house next door, which leads to a violent fight between her mother and the neighbor.
