Sinopsis
‘La pichona’ (The young chick) is a fictional story inspired by real events that took place in the San Rafael neighbourhood of Malaga. The story follows Inma, a 15-year-old girl forced to serve her home and family: in the morning she cleans, in the afternoon she sews, and at dawn she takes coffee and tobacco to the place where her brother hunts birds. Her routine changes when Ramón appears, awakening unknown emotions in her. From that moment on, Inma is faced with the need to take control of her life, despite living in an environment that denies her any hint of freedom.
