The group of characters is completed by Dana, Esther’s youngest daughter, who concentrates her mother’s effort to change the situation of rural women in Mexico; and Edelio, Esther and Pedro’s father, who represents conservationism, tradition and resistance to change.

They help us understand that gender identities are being built on every corner of the planet, and that the confusing thoughts on the future of a community coexist in a dialogue that echoes out to many situations currently unfolding in the world. A micro-cosmos that pours out on a larger scale.
