Each year, 26-year-old María Yessenia Herrera, best-known as “Chena”, joins the traveling diaspora of peasants who move around Colombia working as hand-picking coffee harvesters. Traveling and working constitute the basis of her autonomy. She keeps a notebook in her luggage where she writes and reflects about her past and the life that she faces as a woman and as a mother who must provide for a household full of problems and scarcity from afar. Despite her youth, her body is weakening, calling into question her own idea of freedom.
