The narrative is divided into two segments, titled "Spain" and "Italy," reflecting the protagonists' aspirations to migrate to Europe. However, the European destinations remain largely unseen, as the film focuses intensely on the daily struggles and routines of Mofe and Rosa. A passport, photos, and a visa form are recurring elements, symbolizing their dreams of a better life, but they are only briefly touched upon.
