Sinopsis
A mis 15 años empecé a filmar a mi abuela buscando conservar su memoria. Sus relatos ahora me llevan en un viaje de regreso con las mujeres de mi familia a la “Fábrica de Hilados y Tejidos de San José de Suaita”, lugar donde trabajaron por más de 30 años y que siendo pionera de la industrialización y promesa de desarrollo en un país campesino, las forzó al éxodo con las manos vacías, para iniciar una nueva lucha por sus familias.
