Inés works as a seamstress in a sweatshop where pregnancy tests are periodically administered. When she becomes pregnant, she is sure that her condition will get her fired. She does everything she can to keep it a secret. During the first months of pregnancy, Inés is forced to falsify the test results with the complicity of a co-worker. When her accomplice is absent on the day of the new medical test, Inés spends the day trying to find a way to keep her job.
