Live. Breathe. Survive.

13 year-old Maria comes from an abusive bipolar, alcoholic father, a work addicted step-mother with a temper, and a mother that walked out early in her sisters and her lives. Since then there has been a new recruitment to this 'family' of hers, Emilio. Things were going good as can be, until her sister one day leaves, making things for Maria harder than ever. Even so, she never took it out on her brother. No, she protected him as best as she could, from their parents, reality, the world.
