Synopsis:
Valeria, Vilma, Mercy and their other workmates dream of being treated with respect and that the violence against them will end. They work as prostitutes in Guatemala, and their rate is two dollars per service. They work in “La LÃneaâ€, besides the railway line that cuts straight across Guatemala City and runs to the Pacific Ocean. In order to draw attention to their problems, the police harassment and the unpunished murders, they organize a football team and register for a local championship. But they are dismissed simply because they are prostitutes. This disqualification unleashed a heated controversy in the country, both rejection and support that changed their lives overnight. This is their story.
