Lourdes (Marta Milans) is a single mother who has left her son with her Mother in Mexico and
travelled to New York to work. She needs to earn as much money as possible to send home as
her son is ill and needs an operation. So Lourdes works at a high-class restaurant through the
night where she cleans and prepares it for the next day. She earns minimum wage and the only
thing that keeps her going is her son with whom she speaks to every night.
