There she has to put up with the advances of some of the workers, which is something she’s used to doing because she’s had this job since she was a lot younger.

But there’s another parallel film here, and it’s the one in which Campusano’s eye captures the City of Buenos Aires in his own unique way. One of those great moments takes place as soon as the film begins, when Campusano stops to film some street musicians while they rap on a subway platform.
