In the 1950s, thousands of women arrived in Lima from the Andes in search of a better life. Many couldn't find formal employment and took to the streets with baskets of fruit, food, and other goods to earn their daily bread.

Days starting at dawn, persecution by municipal authorities, discrimination, and the constant struggle for a scrap of sidewalk to sell on. This was the reality for street vendors in a city that was growing uncontrollably.

In this historical reconstruction, we follow a day in the life of one of these women and discover how her efforts helped build the Lima we know today.
