It is like any other day in Artiaga Street when men eat dogs and get drunk and women have to succumb to their husbands’ aggressiveness. Mariana, pregnant with her second child has been planning for this day. She is fed-up. She wants to break loose. On the ground floor, her husband’s dog barks incessantly. Upstairs the baby cries constantly waiting to be fed. She has to fight. A woman, too, has rights. Confronting her drunken husband and the dog, she makes one last bid for freedom that might finally set her free.

What starts off with a simple weekend plan to watch a movie turns into a day of agitation as Marta’s daughter, Marie, swallows some fish bones. The solution starts off with bananas and moves on to a slew of superstitious beliefs. And in all these, they have become oblivious to the doctor who lives next door. In the background of the story is a news commentary of a radio station about how garbage especially the use of plastic can eventually affect our waters and our marine life.
