Synopsis
Managua, aujourd’hui. Yuma veut être boxeuse. Dans son quartier pauvre, les gangs luttent pour le contrôle de la rue. Chez elle, le manque d’amour dicte sa loi. Le ring, l’énergie, l’agilité des pieds et des mains, sont ses rêves et sa seule option. Une rue, un vol, Yuma rencontre Ernesto, étudiant en journalisme, un garçon qui vient de l’autre côté de la ville. Ils sont différents, mais ils vont tomber amoureux, attirés l’un par l’autre comme deux pôles opposés. Cependant, les inégalités qui les séparent les transforment rapidement en adversaires. Mais dans un Nicaragua divisé en classes sociales violemment contrastées qui n’excluent pas pour autant l’amitié et la solidarité, Yuma trouvera sa routeActors
