Mariana Pineda is a liberal activist in 19th Century Spain who gets arrested and tried for conspiracy in 1831.

A henpecked housewife ekes out a meager existence, surrounded by a host of colorful characters: her ungrateful husband, her delinquent sons, her headstrong mother-in-law, and her sex worker neighbor, among others.

Abandoned by her husband, a woman takes to the streets in search of money to feed her children. (Promotional short for the film What Have I Done to Deserve This?, directed by Pedro Almodóvar.)
