Stories of black women who, thanks to the relentless toil of their mothers, were able to attend school and retrace the paths treaded by their ancestors. Their memories, joys and sorrows become present as a possibility for a new fate, transforming the hard work of the washerwomen in a spectacle of life and fulfillment.
