The Mexican Revolution during The Day Of The Dead Feast. A teenage girl with face blindness finds the camp where her mother fled to become a revolutionary soldadera (female soldier). She is taken in by the other soldaderas and unintentionally catches the eye of the lascivious, god-fearing colonel. Upon learning her mother died bravely in battle, the girl decides to become a soldadera. This sets off the unveiling of secrets that threatens to tear the camp apart.
