Synopsis
Justina, a fifteen-year-old girl, lives with her mother and stepfather in a suburb of Mexico City. On the verge of sexual awakening, she starts flirting with her stepfather, provoking the murder of both her parents. She runs away from home, lost in her mind, just dressed with a nightgown. Ivan, a police detective who practices torture as a daily routine and is now reduced to the rank of street cop, is ordered to look for her all night long. Justine gets picked up on the street by two cops who take her to their headquarters. They treat her like a slave and rape her several times. From that moment, the lives of both Justina and Ivan will change forever.
